Ordinal number

Summary

Ordinal numbers extend the natural numbers to measure the length of well-ordered sets, including infinite ones. Each well-ordered set is order isomorphic to exactly one ordinal.

What this node needs for W2
  • edge instance_of in: at least two examples (0 of 2)
  • edge not_instance_of in: at least one non-example (0 of 1)
  • edge specializes both: the more general notions and the special cases (0 of 1)

The writing levels say how complete the text of a node is. They do not measure its truth.
