Delete - I agree with the nominator that it is probably made up (but I have seen that before where it turned out to be wrong) but for sure it lacks the sources required to meet the notability guideline.

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-orderset theory as a temporarily convenient way of referring to it.
