That is a bit of nonsense. Or Hartree Field notion of model has nothing to do with what logicians called a model (a mathematical structure with a notion of satisfaction). > > For example, a model of arithmetic could be an actual semiconductor logic > gate chip with RAM. I don’t understand this. A model of arithmetic is a set of object which provides an interpretation of the terms (0, S(0), …), and an interpretation of + and * (in terms of infinite set of couples).
