See also model theory._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

W.V.O. Quine on Models - Dictionary of Arguments
II 210 Models/QuineVsKripke: they enable proof of consistency but not a clear interpretation - when are objects identical? -Bischof Buttler ("no other thing"): identity does not follow necessarily. IX 223 Model: exists where contradictions cannot be deduced. X 77 Model/Quine: of a scheme: is a quantity-n-tuple: a set corresponds to each schema letters (for predicates), at the beginning of the n-tuple is a non-empty set U, the universal set or the range of values of the variables x, y, etc. the remaining sets of the model are the values of the set variables a, b, etc. Fulfillment: a model fulfills a scheme, if its set-theoretic analogue (sentence) it is true. >Set Theory/Quine. X 78 For example, a model 'U,‹U,β) fulfils the logical scheme "Ex(Fx. Gx)" ((s) quotation marks not for the model) if Ex(x ε α α. ζ ε β), i.e. if the two sets of the model are not elemental. ((s) Conjunction of properties or sentences: common elements of the corresponding elements > intersection, not union). For example a model 'U,‹U,β) fulfils the logical scheme ~E(Fx . ~Gx)" when the one set is a subset of the other._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
