minus-square@affiliateOPlink15•10 months agoyeah but sometimes when the textbook authors are feeling particularly mischievous they’ll just put them in random places. and sometimes they’ll even skip the proofs but keep the square.

What does type() mean here?
it’s the “order type” of a well ordering on a set. so, given a set X with a total ordering R, type(X,R) is the unique ordinal isomorphic to (X,R)

yeah but sometimes when the textbook authors are feeling particularly mischievous they’ll just put them in random places. and sometimes they’ll even skip the proofs but keep the square.
