Monotonicity of the obligatory property: If F₁ appears in F₂ and F₂ is obligatory, then F₁ is also obligatory.

Proof: For any H with χ(H)>0\chi(H) > \aleph_0, since F₂ is obligatory, F₂ appears in H via some injection φ₂. Since F₁ appears in F₂ via φ₁, the composition φ₂ ∘ φ₁ witnesses that F₁ appears in H.
