A set-theoretic tree is a partial order for which the strict predecessors of every node are well-ordered by the tree order. The height of a node is that predecessor order type, and is the set of nodes of height . Under the ordinary height-and-width definition, a kappa-tree satisfies
For an arbitrary cardinal in this definition one must distinguish it from additional conventions such as being well-pruned, normal or splitting. Splitting means that every node has two incompatible extensions; it is not implied by the height-and-width clauses. This distinction is material in Question 5(ii)(a).
