Theorem htalem 3618

Description: Lemma for defining an emulation of Hilbert's epsilon. Hilbert's epsilon is described at http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/epsilon-calculus/. This theorem is equivalent to Hilbert's "transfinite axiom," described on that page, with the additional R We A antecedent. The element B is the epsilon that the theorem emulates.
