Definition df-lim 5645
Description: Define the limit ordinal predicate, which is true for a nonempty ordinal that is not a successor (i.e. that is the union of itself). Our definition combines the definition of Lim of [BellMachover] p. 471 and Exercise 1 of [TakeutiZaring] p. 42. See dflim2 5698, dflim3 6939, and dflim4 for alternate definitions.
