Theorem wfr1

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 .
