WHAT DOES WELL-FOUNDED MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Well-founded relation

In mathematics, a binary relation, R, is well-founded on a class X if and only if every non-empty subset S⊆X has a minimal element; that is, some element m of any S is not related by sRm for the rest of the s ∈ S. Equivalently, assuming some choice, a relation is well-founded if and only if it contains no countable infinite descending chains: that is, there is no infinite sequence x0, x1, x2,... of elements of X such that xn+1 R xn for every natural number n. In order theory, a partial order is called well-founded if the corresponding strict order is a well-founded relation. If the order is a total order then it is called a well-order. In set theory, a set x is called a well-founded set if the set membership relation is well-founded on the transitive closure of x. The axiom of regularity, which is one of the axioms of Zermelo–Fraenkel set theory, asserts that all sets are well-founded.
