it’s the “order type” of a well ordering on a set. so, given a set X with a total ordering R, type(X,R) is the unique ordinal isomorphic to (X,R)
Give it up for op actually out here answering questions like a real live teacher.

yeah but sometimes when the textbook authors are feeling particularly mischievous they’ll just put them in random places. and sometimes they’ll even skip the proofs but keep the square.
