O n models of axiomatic systems. BY
A. it1 o s t o w s I< i (Warszawa).
This paper is devoted to n discussion of various notions of models which appear in the recent investigations of formal systems. The discussion will be applied to the study of the following problem: Given a formal system L3 based on an infinite number of axioms Al,&,A8, ... is it possible to prove in S the consistency of the system based on a finite number A1,& ...,A,, of these axioms?
1. Notations and definitions. We shall consider two systems S and s based on the functional calculus of the first orderl). We shall not describe these systems in detail but give only some definitions which will be required later. S y s t e m s. We assume that the following symbols occur among the primitive signs of 8: 1. Variables: sl,s2,.~3 ,...,z,y,z ,... 3. I n d i v i d u a l c o n s t a n t s : fi ,....fa. 3. F u n c t o r s (i. e. symbols for functions from individuals t o individuals): gl,...,gp. We denote by qj the number of arguments of 91 ( j = l , ...,/!I). 4. P r e d i c a t e s (i. e. symbols for relations): rl, ...,r y . We denote by p l the number of arguments of ri ( i = l , ...,y). 5. P r o p o s i t i o n a l c o n n e c t i v e s a n d q u a n t i f i e r s . We use the symbol I for the “stroke function” and define other connectives in terms of the stroke. Quantifiers are denoted by symbols ( 3 4.and (si). Among expressions which can be constructed from these signs we distinguish the following: 6. Terms. Variables and individual constants are terms. If I‘,,...;Iyq, are terms, then so is gI(Tl,.,.,Tq,),j=1, ...,p. Terms will be denoted by the letters F7T‘l,I‘2,... l ) For the functional calculus of the first order see e. 9. C l i u r c l i [I]. Chapter 11.

The formula which results from a formula A by the substitution for the variables ~ , . . . , L cwill ~ be denoted by of the terms T1,...,Tn Subst A(xl/rl, ...,g&). The operation of substitution is always performable when A is a term. If A is a matrix, it is sometimes necessary to re-name the bound variables occurring in A in order to make sure that the operation S&st can be performed. We shall always assume that the necessary changes in the bound variables of A have been performed before the operation Subst has been applied,). 11. &-matrices. These are matrices in which no bound variables occur. 12. Axioms. We assume that the axioms of s are finite in number and have the form of &-matrices in which no constants, functors, or predicates occur besides those which were enumerated in 2, 3, and 4. The axioms will be denoted by ai or a l ( q y,...,z), i=l, ...,6. _____ _-

13. The r u l e s of proof admitted in 8 are the usual ones. We adjoin to them the rule of explicit definitions and the &-rule8), We shall add a few words to explain the &rule. To this end we define recursiveLy the notions of &-termsand &-matrices. The terms and matrices defined in 6 and 7 are &-terms and &-matrices.I f P,Pl,...,Pk are &-terms,then flubst m

I f Ml and M8 are &-matrices,then so are HIIMa and (3x,)M1. I f M is an &-matrix, then ( m f ) Nis an &-term. The &-rulestates that for every &-matrix M the matrix
M 3 Sabst M ( x ~ / ( E x ~ ) M ) can be assumed as a theorem of s. The question arises whether the assumptions concerning the form of axioms and rules of proof (cf. 1 2 and 13) are general enough to cover the cases of standard formal systems based on a finite number of axioms. The answer is affirmative. To see this we remark that the &-ruleenables us to get rid of quantifiers in the axioms provided that we introduce a sufficient number of &-terms*). Since the explicit definitions are allowed in s, it follows that we can bring t h e axioms to the form of Q-matrices provided that we add a sufficient number of symbols to the symbols enumerated in 2 and 3. The resulting system then satisfies our assumptions and is equivalent to the given one provided that suitable definitions are introduced into the latter. E x a m p l e .

S y s t e m 8. The structure of 8 will be assumed similar to those of 8 . We shall, however, not assume that the number of &oms of S is finite. Furthermore we shall assume that 8 contains an arithmetic of integers to an extent which allows UR t o arithmetize in B the syntax of s and to prove in S the basic theorems of qathematical logic, e. g., the completeness theorem of CfBde16). We shall use freely in 8 the arithmetical notions such as identity, sum, product etc. 14. A r i t h m e t i c a l c o u n t e r p a r t s of s y n t a c t i c a l n o t i o n s will be denoted by words printed in spaced italics. For instance matrix is short for a matrix of S with one free variable which is satisfied exclusively by the Godel numbers of matarices of s. The actual construction of such a matrix is not needed; it suffices to h o w that it can be constructed. To simplify the notation we shall often use in 8 the non-formal language and write, for exainple, 3

If 8 contained an of whether their set is or is not definable in f l ) , thsa the problem whether an explicitly given pseudo-model is or is not a real model of s in S would be expressible in the syntax of 8 but not in 8 itself. The following theorems concerning model% of the first kind are well known but are given here for the sake of comparison with other notions of models 0 ) : I.

Let us now assume that a real model of the first kind of 8 has been explicitly defined in 8. Theorems I and I1 are provable in the syntax of S, hence they are translatable into arithmetic and therefore into S. Denoting by N ( S ) and N ( s ) formulas of 8 corresponding (via arithmetization) t o the syntactic statement: S (or s) is self-consistent (cf. section 1, definition 23), we obtain from 11: 111. The formula N ( S ) 3 N ( s )is provable in 8. In spite of this result models of the firat kind are of no use when one is examining the problem whether the formula N ( s ) itself is or is not provable in S. Models of the second and third kinds which we shall discuss in the next sections will allow us to answer this question in many particular cases. We note still the following theorem due t o W a n g [16]: IV. If the formula AT($)i s provable i n 8,then a model of the first kind can be defined explicitly in S . Indeed, the usual proofs of the completeness theorem of Gadel consist in exhibiting a model of the first kind of a (non-contradictory) first order system in the arithmetic of integers 10). Taking s as this system and repeating the argument of Godel in S (which is possible by our assumptions concerning f l , cf. p. 136) we obtain the proof, of theorem IV 11). O)

3. Models of the second kind in the axiomatic theory of sets la), We assume in this section that 8 is an axiomatic system of set theory based e. g. on Zermelo's axioms. The following definitions are to be thought of as belonging to 8. Let be an arbitrary set aad Z a finite set of positive integers. An %-function with the set of arguments 2 is defined as a set F of ordered pairs such that v E u runs over all finite sequences 13) satisfying the conditions

An %-relation with the set of arguments 2 is defined as a set R of sequences u such that D(u)=Z and D*(u)C%. If Z consists of integers i , j , k , ... and u is a sequence with the domain 2 such that , , , ... are elements of u, then instead of U G Rwe writ;e R(a,b,c,...) and say that R holds for the elements a,b,c,...

We shall now explain when a pseudo-model is a real model. As in section 2 we need some auxiliary definitions. We shall denote by B(t) the set of f r e e v a r i a b l e s which o c c u r in a t e r m t and by B(m) the set of f r e e v a r i a b l e s which o c c u r in a m a t r i x m of s. With these definitions it, is not difficult to prove the existence and uniqneness of a function H f ( u ) and a relation Stsf which are of fundamental importance in the investigations of the semantic of 8. The exact definitions of the function H and the relation Xtsf are given below in lemmas 1 and 2 together with the proofs of their existence and uniqueness. To facilitate our exposition we explain informally the intuitive meaning of these concepts. Let t be a t e r m , m 5 m a t r i x of 8, and let 1' 1 be a sequence {,, ,...} where i,j,k ,... are the f r e e v a r i a b l e s o f t or of m.

Hence models of the second kind enable us to obtain absolute consistency proofs whereas models of the first kind yield merely relative consist6ncy proofs. We note finally that just as in section 2 we can derive from the completness theorem of Godel the following theorem which is the converse of VII: VIII. If the sentence N ( s ) ia provable in.

(cf. "convention W" in Tarski [ll], p. 305). Since the right side of (4) is an axiom of X, we obtain u 8tsf [at]. This formula being provable in 8, we infer that (3) is a real model of 8 in 8. The construction carried out above is expressible in 8; therefore on using theorem VII we obtain: IX. If s i s a finitely axiomatizable szbb-system of 8, then the sentence N ( s ) is provable in S . Remarks. 1. The assumption made above that B and 8 both contain the &-ruleis not essential for the validity of theorem IX. Indeed, let s' and X' be systems without the mule which become equivalent to s and 8 after adjunction of that rule and explicit definitions. It is evident that N(s') is not stronger than N ( s ) and hence provable in X. Since N(s') is an arithmetical sentence in which the &-symboldoes not occur, it follows from the second 8-theorem of Hilbert and Bernays that N ( s ' ) is provable without the &-rule, i. e. in S'. 2. One might ask why our construction breaks down when 8 contains infinitely many axioms, e. 9. when s=8. To answer this question we recall that equivalences of the form (4) are provable in S for each ai separately. There are no means by which to express in S anything which could serve as a logical product of infinitely many such equivalences.
The following theorems are easy corollaries of IX: X. If 8 i s self-oonsistent, it is not finitely axiomatizable 17). Proof. Fir& of all we remark that there exists a finitely axiomatizable sub-system so of S which is at least as strong as the arithmetic of integers based on Peano'a axioms with the axiom of mathematical induction (conceived as an axiom-schema). To prove this we remark that this system of arithmetic is equivalent to the system (21) of Hilbert-Bernays [ 5 ] , p. 384. It has been shown by Novak and Wang [8], p. 90, that upon extending (Z) by the introduction of a new primitive notion and suitable axioms we obtain a system which is finitely axiomatizable. The new primitive notion is that of a predicative class of integers. The resulting system so is therefore certainly weaker than 8 since in 8 we have at our disposal the general notion of classes which satisfies all the

axioms formulated by N o v a k and W a n g in their construction. Hence so is a sub-system of S. The existence of so being proved, we proceed as follows. According t o a theorem of Godel la) the sentence N ( s ) is provable in no self-consistent system s which contains ( Z ) . Hence if 8 is self-consistent and s is an axiomatizable sub-system of S which contains so, then N ( s ) is not provable in 8 . Since N ( s ) is provable in 8 according t o IX, we infer that systems s and X are not equivalent. Theorem X is thus proved. XI. If S i s self-consistent, it i s iu-ilzcomplete 19). Proof. Let X' be a system equivalent t o S 1)nt without the &-rule and with a fixed set of primitive functors and predicate8 fi. e . explicit definitions are not allowed in 8').Let al,a2,... be axioms of 8'. We can assume that no at contains free variables. P u t m(i)=[a,.n,. . . . . u , ~ ~ , .

It is easy t o see that this matrix can be written in purely arithmetical terms and is therefore a matrix of 8. According to IX, sentences @(l),O(Z),... are all provable in X whereas the general statement ($)@(a) is equivalent to N ( S ) and hence unprovable in S unless S is inconsistent. XI1 20). If 8 i s self-consistent, then there exist consistent but c~-inconsistentsets of arithmetical semtences. Indeed, sentences - N ( X ) , @(l), @ ( 2 ) ,O ( 3 )... form such a set.
5. Models of the second kind in the axiomatic theory of real numbers. llniost all we have said 111 sections 3 and 4 can be repeated wnen S is an axiomatic theory of real numbers. When speaking of the arithmetic of real numbers, we have in mind systems in which the class of integers as well as the developmentiof any real number into decimal (or other) fractions is definable and can be proved t o exist.

Note that the arithmetic of real numbers in its usual formulation is based on an infinite number of axioms because the axiom of continuity cannot be expressed otherwise as a schema. The notions of functions and relations do not occur explicitly among the primitive notions of arithmetic. Some particular cases of these notions, however, are definable in arithmetic and these particular cases are general enough to enable us to carry over the proofs given in sections 4 and 5 from set-theory to arithmetic. The procedure is as follows. First, we define one-to-one correspondences between integers and finite sequences of k integers, k=1,2, ... If an integer n is made ) p k is the k-th prime, to correspond with a k-tuple ( n l 1 . . . , ~ 2 band then we shall identify the integer p ; with the k-tuple ( ) t l , ...,n k ) . I n this way we obtain an arithmetical substitute for the notion of a finite sequence of integers. It is well known that we can effectively establish a one-to-one correspondence between reel numbers and sets of integers. I n other words we can find a matrix @(m,m) such that the following formulas are provable in X: O ( . r l t t ) 3n i s an integer, x ~ z / , - ( n ) [ @ ( dn,) =@(%",it)].

A real number % will be called a k-termed relation if (m)[@(m,~~)3(3m).n=p,m]. Integers 9z1, ...,nk are said to be in relati0.n s !i the integer n corresponding to the sequence ( i ? l l . . . , n b )SRtisfies the condition @(.;,p;). I n this case we write I I : ( ?

4%, * 13(Em1 n 1 = PT ) , ( ' ~ ~ ) ( 3 ~ ~ z ) ~ ( ~ ~ i ~ ~ ~ ~ , .C(n1,

The value of the function m for the arguments ? i l , . . . , n k is defined as (tnz)x(p;,n,) where m is the integer corresponding to t h e sequence ul,...,9 2 1 . Having defined the notions of functions and relations, we can reconstruct without difficulty all the definitions and proofs which were given in sections 3 and 4. In this way we arrive at the following results:

XIII. If the system X of the arithmetic of real numbers is selfcowsistent and s i s a finitely axiomatixabb sub-system of X, then the sentence X ( s ) is propable i n S . XIV. The arithmetic of real numbers is ?lot finitely axiomatixable. 6. Models of the third kind. The method described in sections 3-5 does not apply in the case in which X is the system of the arithmetic of positive integers based on Peano's postulates. The failure of the method is caused by the fact that no model of the second kind is definable in the arithmetic of positive integers for a system s in which the existence of infinitely many individuals is provable. JIodels of the third kind which we shall discuss presently will enable us t o prove theorems similar to IX-XI1 for the ewe in which S is the system of the arithmetic of integers. These models were first, defined by H i l b e r t and Bernays who stated their definitions id a non-formal language*'). We shall present here an arithmetical counterpart of the Hilbert-Bernays definition in order to discuss the possibility of its use in a formal system A'. We shall make the same assumptions concerning the systems A' and s as in section 1. The system 8 will however be slightly enlarged by the adjunction of the symbols A and v, denoting the Boolean zero and the Boolean unit. Boolean addition and multiand . and, when many summands plication will be denoted by or factors are present, by the Z- and 27-symbols. Boolean complementation will be denoted by an upper index 1. For symmetry we put A Q = A and V o r ~ . A term r of s will be called a, constant term if no variable occurs in it. It is easy to construct in arithmetic (and hence in 8) a functor l' with one free variable such that the following formulas are provable in 8: if y is an integer, then T ( y ) is a constan-t term; if x is a constant term, then s = T ( y ) for some y. We shall now construct in X a function X(m,m) which enumerates all matrices t h a t can be obtained from a Q-matrim m by all possible substitutions of constant ternas for the free v a riables of m. We introduce first the auxiliary functors u, 8,and p.

Hence S(t,m,y) is a functor of 8. Let p ( t ) be the functor of 8 defined as the largest integer y such that 3sr o c c u r s in t. We put

We define now the x-tR substitution of an arbitrary Q - m a t r i x m. The definition proceeds by induction. If m=c, then 8(e,a) has been defined above. If m = [m,Im,l, then we put S(nz,a)= [S(m,,~)lfJ(m,,s)]. By a standard procedure we transform this inductive definition into an explicit one whin can be expressed in 8. We shall call a pseudo-model of the third kind or briefly a valuation, a functor di or 8 with one free variable such that the following formula is provable in 8: if p i s a p r i m e f o r m u l a , then D ( p ) = V or @ ( p ) = A .

Let @ be an arbitrary valuation. We consider a functor V n l a ( m , s ) of S with two free variables satisfying the following conditions: a) the first argument of Val@ runs over &-matrices and the second over arbitrary positive integers; b) the following statements (5) and (6) are provable in S:
T’u7.(e, a)= @(S( e , z)), Vazs([mllnL,],s)={VU?s(ml,s) .V a f + 1)Zz7 ( a))’ (the upper index 1 denotes here the Boolean complementation). It is easy to construct effectively a functor Va7a which satisfies the above conditions. All we have to do is to remark that conditions (5) and (6) can be considered as an inductive definition of Val@and that inductive definitions of this kind can. be transformed into ordinary definitions which are expressible in S. Definition. A pseudo-model @ is called a real model of the third kiizd of s itz 8 if the following formulas are provable in 8:

Models of t8hethird kind are in some respects similar to models of the first kind. Indeed, it follows from the definition that 1. The general notion of models of the third kind is defined not in S but in its syntax (since @ was defined as a functor of S ) ; 2 . Every particular pseudo-model of the third kind can be defined within S (since each particular @ can be writteh down by means of symbols allowed in 8).The problem whether this pseudomodel is or is not a real model of s can be formulated and in particular cases solved in S. On the other hand 3. The notion of models of the third kind retains its meaning also for cases in which s contains an infinite number of axioms. bdeed, @ is a real model if the formula ( m ) [ ( m i s nsz asionz Of s ) 3 (a)(Va7*(m,s)=V } ]
is provable in 8. This definition is meaningful not only when the a s i o m s of s are finite in number but more generally when their set is definable in S. I n this respect there is an analogy between models of the third and second kinds. We shall now investigate the problem whether models of the third kind can be used to obtain absolute proofs of consistency.

Indeed, let s be a finitely axiomatizable sub-system of S containing so and denote by Ax the Godel number of the conjunction of the axioms of s.

This proof can be repeated word by word in the system s owing to the circumstance that (15),(16), and recursion-equations for the functions P, Q, Sb, Imp, Neg, and Z are available in s. Hence if we denote by w the Godel number of the sentence N ( 6 ) and observe t
