Aatu, I agree that you consistently maintain that it is not for
ordinals that the ordinal containing the transitive closure of the
theory's regular well-founded elements, that being the model,
simulacrum in all detail, here though you are saying it's now the
cardinal, where that would be over all the language classes with the
regular models. Now before it even had to be all the interpretations,
identical under various operations (i.e., each of the two set-
theoretic ones) then is simply a matter of model detail.

You know I think that I keep saying that I think that the ordinals
there are sufficiently the models where the theories generally have a
simple maintainence from the natural counting models, eg then simple
associative models, with natural ubiquitous ordinals. Thus I so frame
theory. Here I so frame theory: no, an axiomless system of natural
deduction. I repeat that.

Warm regards,

Ross Finlayson

Ah Herb, hello of course generally, yes via description via, formally,
an axiomless system of natural deduction, there are different and less
the paradoxes with the null axiom theory, than for example ZF set
theory, with the paradoxes about the irregular or non-well-founded
consequences of collections of the objects (eg that that of sets is a
set and that that of ordinals is a set and an ordinal), yes still the
other axioms of ZF seem to follow as theories from the consequences of
the operations, of these elements each defined uniquely by the other
elements to which they relate in part-hood or set-hood (neighborhood
or parenthood). Yet where the topology and graph-theoretic links are
so defined there, it could be either way, in topology and links.
Now as ordinals, basically they're ascribed particularly concise
structure, that works with other strictly formal set-theoretic
machinery in the establishment of for example induction, and as well
with generally some theorems in the middle everything that follows
from mutual induction. Now it is a result of Lowenheim and Skolem
that if there is a model for the theory to witness it consistent, then
there is a countable model. So there is basically a machine that
works off of the countable ordinals, and for that matter, all the
recursive ordinals up to the Church Kleene Omega 1 can be modeled by
the finite natural numbers, no infinite numbers. (This Omega 1 CK is
larger than any combination of countable ordinals, least non-
recursive, still countable, then I digress about translations back and
forth preserving model semantics between the recursive and non-
recursive, also I digress about the set of recursive ordinals). So
there's a countable model for any theory like ZF that's consistent (in
model theory which generally uses ZF), in this case ZF having a
standard model is a separate theory. Anyways as a countable theory
it's no different than having a mapping from the natural integers onto
each other with representing each part of the machine in the natural
integers, if ZF had a standard model which it is not proven that it
does or rather nor is it that it doesn't, there are no cardinals
different than ordinals.

No I agree that what Aatu said there is consistent and with much the
same meaning as what I said there, in his generally careful (besides
correct) manner.

Heh, Herb you were flying. Still, I hope you would tell us more about
that it is pretty funny. Yeah I agree with Herbert too.

Warm regards,

Ross Finlayson

Sure, of course.

So, you agree that cardinals are ordinals, or indistinct from their
initial ordinals, and that they have one.

What about it? Moe, this is about ZF and Peano Arithmetic, or as the
subject reads: Z - R -> PA consistent. I talk about that in what I
just wrote, glad you could contribute. Oh, wait, well thanks anyway.

Still, that is my impression of Herb, what is that about, Herb? Excuse
me, Herb, I by no means meant to wonder except to in knowing the
veracity of the connoted words see no reason for undue alarum. Herb,
I just didn't get it and it made some sense though, I thought you
wrote that because I wrote the statement about the ordinals and Aatu
made the same statement as a theorem or fact, with the figuring out
the transfer principle over reflexive componentry. So I read that as
Herb's exclamatory reaction to what we were talking about:
mathematical logic and formal mathematical logic.

Only one way up!
