``general well-ordering principle'' by vampyr on 2001-10-18 17:44:40
Maybe we should be specific, and say "well-ordering principle for natural numbers" and "general well-ordering principle", because when you say it, it seems to mean "the naturals can be well-ordered", and when I say it, it means "all sets can be well-ordered." I don't know which is the standard definition.
