### Induction ### Induction
!!! definition
- A proof **without loss of generality** (WLOG) indicates that the roles of variables do not matter — so long as the symbols CTRL-H'd, the proof remains exactly the same. For example, "WLOG, let $x,y\in\mathbb Z$ st. $x<y$."
Induction is a proof technique that can be used if the open sentence $P(n)$ depends on the parameter $n\in\mathbb N$. Because induction works in discrete steps, it generally cannot be applied domains of all real numbers.
