Regular direct limits #
At the regular uncountable recursion length, every point of a completed direct limit already comes from one component. This is the formal version of the manuscript's assertion that a countable Cauchy sequence is contained in one earlier stage.

A countable family of recursion indices has a strict upper bound.

At regular uncountable length, the canonical component embeddings jointly surject onto the completed direct limit.
