OP, I need the definition for × and <,> too
× is the cartesian product and = {x, {x,y}} is the ordered pair of x and y. (i.e., if x is in X and y is in Y, then is the corresponding element of the cartesian product X × Y). hope this helps
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)
