Relation embeddings from the naturals #
This file allows translation from monotone functions ℕ → α
to order embeddings ℕ ↪ α
and
defines the limit value of an eventually-constant sequence.

This is the infinitary Erdős–Szekeres theorem, and an important lemma in the usual proof of
Bolzano-Weierstrass for ℝ
.
The "monotone chain condition" below is sometimes a convenient form of well foundedness.
Given an eventually-constant monotone sequence a₀ ≤ a₁ ≤ a₂ ≤ ...
in a partially-ordered
type, monotonicSequenceLimitIndex a
is the least natural number n
for which aₙ
reaches the
constant value. For sequences that are not eventually constant, monotonicSequenceLimitIndex a
is defined, but is a junk value.

partially-ordered type.
