Repeat the preceding construction starting at , for any given ordinal . A stabilized value or the strictly increasing sequence's supremum is a fixed point at least . Thus fixed points occur above every ordinal.
If the fixed points formed a set , their union would be an ordinal bounding them all. Applying the construction above that bound contradicts it. Hence
This is the unboundedness part of the fixed point of a normal ordinal function theorem.
