Boundedness of well-founded models (issue #12, step 6 layer 2) #
Marker Corollary 4.27 in relational/countable form, via the step-5 theorem contrapositively:
wellFounded_boundedness_relational— if every model ofφinterpretsltas a well-founded relation, then some countable ordinalαchains into no model ofφ: the step-5 relation-preserving map would otherwise contradict well-foundedness (layer 1).wellOrder_type_boundedness_relational— if every model ofφinterpretsltas a well-order, the sameαuniformly bounds the order types: an order type≥ αwould re-embed the missingα-chain (Ordinal.type_le_iff'onOrdinal.type_toType).
Only the raw positive forms are consumed (RelChain, RelPreserving) — no injectivity is
needed anywhere: well-foundedness kills the descending sequence directly.
Boundedness, well-founded form (relational/countable): if every model of φ
interprets lt as a well-founded relation, then some countable ordinal α admits an
lt-chain in no model of φ. Contrapositive of the step-5 theorem: were every α < ω₁
realized by a chain, some model of φ would carry a relation-preserving map from ℚ,
contradicting well-foundedness through the descending negative rationals.
Boundedness, order-type form (Marker Corollary 4.27, relational/countable): if every
model of φ interprets lt as a well-order, then some countable ordinal α strictly
bounds the order type of every model's interpreted relation.
