As far as I cans tell "the value of f(n+1) is computed from the sequence" sentence at the beginning of the article is misleading. It should be:

"the value of f(n+1) is computed from the sequence by a primitive recursive function".

At first I was very puzzled, then I kept reading the full article and indeed it is explained below that h must be primitive-recursive.
