Translation of intuitive approach:
For any type S and property Q on S and function-symbol f : S→ℕ, we can prove
If ∀x∈S ( ∀y∈S ( f(y) < f(x) ⇒ Q(y) ) ⇒ Q(x) ):
If ¬∀x ∈ S ( Q(x) ):
∃x ∈ S ( ¬Q(x) )
Let c ∈ S such that ¬Q(c)
f(c) = f(c) ∧ ¬Q(c)
∃x ∈ S ( f(x) = f(x) ∧ ¬Q(x) )
∃k ∈ ℕ ( ∃x ∈ S ( f(x) = k ∧ ¬Q(x) ) )
Let m ∈ ℕ such that ∃x ∈ S ( f(x) = m ∧ ¬Q(x) ) ∧ ∀k ∈ ℕ ( ∃x ∈ S ( f(x) = k ∧ ¬Q(x) ) ⇒ k ≥ m ) [well-ordering]
∀k ∈ ℕ ( ∃x ∈ S ( f(x) = k ∧ ¬Q(x) ) ⇒ k ≥ m )
