Description: The Principle of Well-Ordered Recursion, part 1 of 3. We start with an
arbitrary function G . Then, using a base class A and a
well-ordering R of A , we define a function F . This
function is said to be defined by "well-ordered recursion." The purpose
of these three theorems is to demonstrate the properties of F . We
begin by showing that F is a function over A . (Contributed by Scott Fenton, 22-Apr-2011)(Revised by Mario Carneiro, 26-Jun-2015)
