- Thank you very much for your e-mail.
-
- The axioms of my (finite models) are precisely the set-theoretical
- atomic statements which express the elementhood relations between
- the sets (which are given explicitly).
-
- As I mentioned, the set-theoretical Models that I exhibited are models
- for extremely , extremely meager, weak, anemic, very anemic set-theories.
- Nevertheless they explain clearly the usual misunderstanding in con-
- nection with the so called Low-Skolem paradox, which is not a paradox.
-
- One can give explicitly tables for countable models which
- satisfy many of ZF axioms. For the entire ZF - I have proposed a
- countable model where sets are symbolized by any set-theoretical
- formula which starts with the "THERE EXISTS" symbol and which is
- derivable in ZF.
- In other words, I make a set from any formula which is derivable from
- ZF axioms and which asserts the Existence of a set , i.e, a derivable
- from ZF axioms formal formula starting with an "Existential Quantifier".
-
- Since there are a countable number of this kind of formulas (since
- ZF has countably many axioms) so this model is countable and satisfies
- all the axioms of ZF. HOWEVER NOTATIONS GET VERY, VERY MESSY and
- they eclipse with dark clouds the crux of the matter. I love my
- meager, anemic finite set-theoretical models. Nevermind that they
- do not satisfy all the axioms of ZF ! But they do not kill the
- spirit - in fact the spirit glows in them !!
-
- With best and warmest regards,
-
