This is a very interesting discussion.
Codd developed normal forms in the context of the rest of the work he was
doing. First normal form seemed like a good idea at the time. Making each
normal form defined in terms of the prior normal form was just a
mathemetician's idea of KISS ("reduce it to a problem already solved").
Is there such a theory?
