well-founded
In the context of mathematics, logic, and computer science, a relation R is said to be well-founded (often wellfounded) if there does not exist any infinite sequence of elements in its field (or in an unbounded subset of its field) xi (i ∈ N), such that each element comes later than the next in the relation, or more formally, for all i, xi+1 R xi. In a broader context, "well-founded" refers to something that is based on sound reasoning or evidence; it is solidly established and justifiable.
