Proposition 111, p. 75: If either π΄ and πΆ are the same or πΆ follows π΄ in the transitive closure of π
and π΅ is the successor to πΆ, then either π΄ and π΅ are the same or π΄ follows π΅ or π΅ and π΄ in the #TransitiveClosure of π
.

Proposition 122, p. 79: If πΉ is a function, π΄ is the successor of π, and π΅ is the successor of π, then π΄ and π΅ are the same (or π΅ follows π΄ in the transitive closure of πΉ).
Hyp. β’ (π β π΄ = (πΉβπ)) ; π΄ is the value of πΉ (implicitly assumed to be a function) at π such that π΄ is the unique value that π΄ immediately follows π, ππΉπ΄.

Proposition 124, p. 80: If πΉ is a function, π΄ is the successor of π, and π΅ follows π in the transitive closure of πΉ, then π΄ and π΅ are the same or π΅ follows π΄ in the transitive closure of πΉ.

Proposition 126, p. 81: If πΉ is a function, π΄ is the successor of π, and π΅ follows π in the transitive closure of πΉ, then (for distinct π΄ and π΅) either π΄ follows π΅ or π΅ follows π΄ in the transitive closure of πΉ.

Proposition 129, p. 83: If πΉ is a function and (for distinct π΄ and π΅) either π΄ follows π΅ or π΅ follows π΄ in the transitive closure of πΉ, the successor of π΄ is either π΅ or it follows π΅ or it comes before π΅ in the #TransitiveClosure of πΉ.

Proposition 131, p. 85: If πΉ is a function and π΄ contains all elements of π and all elements before or after those elements of π in the transitive closure of πΉ, then the image under πΉ of π΄ is a subclass of π΄.

Proposition 133, p. 86: If πΉ is a function and π΄ and π΅ both follow π in the transitive closure of πΉ, then (for distinct π΄ and π΅) either π΄ follows π΅ or π΅ follows π΄ in the transitive closure of πΉ (or both if it loops).

So what's nice about the transitive closure that #Frege felt compelled to invent a new language in which to present mathematical arguments? When π
is a function, two sets being related by the transitive closure of π
is much like induction. When π
is a more general relation, we have a more general form of induction, that is truly #ancestral in the language of #Whitehead and #Russell.
