Evidence boundary

Exact formal statement only

This target indexes Mathlib's theorem that every type α admits some LinearOrder whose strict relation is well founded. It is an existential result only: the selected declaration does not provide a computable or canonical order, preserve or extend a relation already on α, or identify the chosen order with a particular ordinal.
