\begin{frame} \frametitle{Why do we need the conditions?} \begin{example}[$>$ not well-founded] \smallskip Let $R = \{\; {\rm f}(x) \to {\rm f}({\rm f}(x)) \;\}$ with the $\Sigma$-algebra $(\mathbb{Z},\interpret{\cdot})$ and \begin{align*} \interpret{{\rm f}}(x) &= x - 1 \end{align*} and $>$ as usual on $\mathbb{Z}$.\\[.5em] \pause Then $R$ is not terminating $${\rm f}(x) \to {\rm f}({\rm f}(x)) \to {\rm f}({\rm f}({\rm f}(x))) \to \ldots$$ \pause but \begin{itemize} \item $\interpret{f}$ is monotone, and \item $\interpret{{\rm f}(x),\alpha} = \alpha(x)-1 > \alpha(x)-2 = \interpret{{\rm f}({\rm f}(x)),\alpha}$. \end{itemize} \smallskip \pause Hence $>$ needs to be well-founded! \smallskip \end{example} \end{frame}
