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

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).
