As an alternative definition, the n tuples of Xi Xi can be regarded as sequences of elements that come from the successive Xi, and thus as the various functions of a certain sort that map [n] into the sum of the Xi, namely, as the sort of functions f : [n] > Ui Xi that obey the condition f(i) C i^Xi.

Xi Xi = X1 x ... x Xn = { f : [n] > Ui Xi | f(i) C Xi for all i}.
Xi Xi = X1 x ... x Xn = { f : [n] > Ui Xi | f(i) C Xi for all i}.
