Is every set relation $R$ that is extensional and well-founded, necessarily linear?

$begingroup$


Let $R$ be the relation. Due to extensionality and well-foundedness, exists a unique minimal element and a unique successor, And the one after that, and a unique limit point for them. Does this necessarily mean that the relation is a well-ordering? I cannot find any counterexample.

    What's the definition of well-founded you're using? Because I'm familiar with this one, which does not give you that minimal elements are unique, or that you have a unique successor operation.

$begingroup$

A relation that is extensional and well-founded is not necessarily a well-order.



For instance take relation $in_A$ on transitive set: $$A={0,1,2,{1,2}}$$ where $0:=varnothing$, $1:={0}$ and $2:={0,1}$.



The elements $0$ and ${1,2}$ are incomparable.





A relation that is extensional and well-founded will be a well-order iff the relation is also transitive.



Further you might be interested in the Mostowski collapse lemma.
