text\<open>In this section, we define cardinal-order relations to be minim well-orders
on their field.  Then we define the cardinal of a set to be {\em some} cardinal-order
relation on that set, which will be unique up to order isomorphism.  Then we study
the connection between cardinals and:
\begin{itemize}
\item standard set-theoretic constructions: products,
sums, unions, lists, powersets, set-of finite sets operator;
\item finiteness and infiniteness (in particular, with the numeric cardinal operator
for finite sets, \<open>card\<close>, from the theory \<open>Finite_Sets.thy\<close>).
\end{itemize}
%
On the way, we define the canonical $\omega$ cardinal and finite cardinals.  We also
define (again, up to order isomorphism) the successor of a cardinal, and show that
any cardinal admits a successor.

Main results of this section are the existence of cardinal relations and the
facts that, in the presence of infiniteness,
most of the standard set-theoretic constructions (except for the powerset)
{\em do not increase cardinality}.  In particular, e.g., the set of words/lists over
any infinite set has the same cardinality (hence, is in bijection) with that set.

text\<open>A cardinal order in our setting shall be a well-order {\em minim} w.r.t. the

text\<open>The existence of a cardinal relation on any given set (which will mean
that any set has a cardinal) follows from two facts:
\begin{itemize}
\item Zermelo's theorem (proved in \<open>Zorn.thy\<close> as theorem \<open>well_order_on\<close>),
which states that on any given set there exists a well-order;
\item The well-founded-ness of \<open><o\<close>, ensuring that then there exists a minimal
such well-order, i.e., a cardinal order.

subsection \<open>Cardinals versus set operations involving infinite sets\<close>

text\<open>Here we show that, for infinite sets, most set-theoretic constructions
do not increase the cardinality.  The cornerstone for this is
theorem \<open>Card_order_Times_same_infinite\<close>, which states that self-product
does not increase cardinality -- the proof of this fact adapts a standard
set-theoretic argument, as presented, e.g., in the proof of theorem 1.5.11
at page 47 in \<^cite>\<open>"card-book"\<close>. Then everything else follows fairly easily.\<close>
