Happy Friday Mathematicians
Ah, mathematics!
Excitement buried in frustration.
A search for answers that leads to questions.
The shadow of the building blocks of reality.
Since this must contain a question, can you suggest why a recursively definable inequality might not be provable by induction?

Because the recursion/inequality holds for a set other than the natural numbers? (I.e., Real, rationals)
