Lemma for Order Isomorphism between Ordinals and Proper Class

Suppose the following conditions are met:

Let $A$ be a class.

We allow $A$ to be a proper class or a set.

Let $\struct {A, \prec}$ be a strict well-ordering.

Let every $\prec$-initial segment be a set, not a proper class.

Let $\Img x$ denote the image of a subclass $x$.

Let $G$ equal the class of all ordered pairs $\tuple {x, y}$ satisfying:

$y \in A \setminus \Img x$
The initial segment $A_y$ of $\struct {A, \prec}$ is a subset of $\Img x$

Let $F$ be a mapping with a domain of $\On$.

Let $F$ also satisfy:

$\map F x = \map G {F \restriction x}$


Then:

$G$ is a mapping
$\map G x \in A \setminus \Img x \iff A \setminus \Img x \ne \O$


Note that only the first four conditions need hold: we may construct classes $F$ and $G$ satisfying the other conditions using the First Principle of Transfinite Recursion.




Proof

\(\ds \tuple {x, y}\) \(\in\) \(\ds G\)
\(\, \ds \land \, \) \(\ds \tuple {x, z}\) \(\in\) \(\ds G\)
\(\ds \leadsto \ \ \) \(\ds y\) \(\in\) \(\ds A \setminus \Img x\) Definition of $G$
\(\, \ds \land \, \) \(\ds z\) \(\in\) \(\ds A \setminus \Img x\)
\(\ds \leadsto \ \ \) \(\ds y\) \(\notin\) \(\ds A_z\) $A_y$ is disjoint with $A \setminus \Img x$. Same with $A_z$.
\(\, \ds \land \, \) \(\ds y\) \(\notin\) \(\ds A_y\)
\(\ds \leadsto \ \ \) \(\ds y\) \(\nprec\) \(\ds z\) Definition of Initial Segment
\(\, \ds \land \, \) \(\ds z\) \(\nprec\) \(\ds y\)
\(\ds \leadsto \ \ \) \(\ds y\) \(=\) \(\ds z\) $\prec$ is a strict well-ordering

Therefore, we may conclude, that $G$ is a single-valued relation and therefore a mapping.


For the second part:

\(\ds A \setminus \Img x\) \(\ne\) \(\ds \O\)
\(\text {(1)}: \quad\) \(\ds \leadsto \ \ \) \(\ds \exists y \in A \setminus \Img x: \, \) \(\ds \paren {A \cap A_y} \setminus \Img x\) \(=\) \(\ds \O\) Proper Well-Ordering Determines Smallest Elements
\(\ds \leadsto \ \ \) \(\ds \map G x\) \(=\) \(\ds y\) Conditions are satisfied for $\tuple {x, y} \in G$. Follows from first part.
\(\ds \leadsto \ \ \) \(\ds \map G x\) \(\in\) \(\ds A \setminus \Img x\) equation $(1)$, $y \in A \setminus \Img x$

Furthermore:

$\map G x \in A \setminus \Img x \implies A \setminus \Img x \ne \O$ by the definition of non-empty.
