*'''Delete''': This function was certainly not made up by the creator of the mrob.com page, which is trying to describe the construction of [[Rayo's number]] to readers with relatively little mathematical background. And the FOST(x) function given there precisely corresponds to the definition of [[Rayo's number]] when the value of x is a googol. I would in fact be suggesting a redirect if I thought that FOST was a standard name for this function - however, there is absolutely no evidence of this and, in fact, I suspect that the source of the mrob.com page, lacking an established name for the function, was simply using an acronym for [[first-order]] [[set theory]] as a temporarily convenient way of referring to it.
