Definition df-frecs

Description: This is the definition for the well-founded recursion generator. Similar to df-wrecs and df-recs , it is a direct definition form of normally recursive relationships. Unlike the former two definitions, it only requires a well-founded set-like relationship for its properties, not a well-ordered relationship. This proof requires either a partial order or the axiom of infinity. We develop the theorems twice, once with a partial order and once without. The second development occurs later in the database, after ax-inf has been introduced. (Contributed by Scott Fenton, 23-Dec-2021)
