Model <strong>for</strong> <strong>non</strong>-<strong>standard</strong> <strong>arithmetic</strong><br />

We now try to compute the <strong>model</strong> of <strong>non</strong>-<strong>standard</strong> <strong>arithmetic</strong> this<br />

<strong>non</strong>-principal ultrafilter leads to.<br />

The natural numbers in E are what Bell calls “mixed natural<br />

numbers”: at level p, they consist of an anti-chains<br />

{qi ≤ p : i ∈ I } in P together with a natural number ni <strong>for</strong> each<br />

i ∈ I . (Where such anti-chains can be uncountable!)<br />

This makes the structure of N → N in E rather complicated.<br />

However using two lemmas we can keep things simple.<br />
