The lemma states that when \(\kappa\) is an uncountable regular cardinal and \(S\) is a stationary set of ordinals \(<\kappa\), any regressive function \(f:S\to\{<\kappa\}\) must be constant on a stationary set of ordinals \(<\kappa\). ==Importance to apierology== Since \(\omega_1\) is regular, setting \(S=\{<\omega_1\}\), Fodor's lemma implies there does not exist a fundame..."
