Mar 23, 2023 at 22:43 comment added Joel David Hamkins @MarcosCramer The internal models are not necessarily transitive, so there is no contradiction.
Mar 23, 2023 at 22:00 comment added Marcos Cramer @JoelDavidHamkins In the last paragraph you claim that every model of ZFC contains a model of ZFC. As far as I can see, this can then be iterated indefinitely, leading to a violation of the foundation axiom. Where is the mistake in this reasoning?
Nov 18, 2013 at 15:27 comment added Joel David Hamkins I misspelled Brice's name: it should be Brice Halimi, and his 2009 manuscript is entitled "Models and structures".
Feb 18, 2010 at 16:38 comment added kakaz Thanks for that remark. Maybe there is possibility to extend such structure in other nonstandard-logic like paraconsistent one for example or higher order theories, which as far as I know gives some serious problems. However I learn a lot from Your answer and I wish to thank You a lot, because gives me a point of view which I may use in order to learn something from literature: it gives some kind of anchor or order in looking for other phenomena;-)
Feb 18, 2010 at 16:23 comment added Joel David Hamkins Thanks for accepting my answer, although I sense that you are not fully satisfied, for which I am sorry. You had asked for something weaker than having a set model, but the completeness theorem shows that if there is no set model, then the theory is actually inconsistent. Thus, there is very little room for a weaker notion; you would inevitably be pushed to consider non-set "models" that in some sense satisfy an inconsistent theory...
Feb 18, 2010 at 15:23 comment added kakaz So if I well understand, at least for first order theory completeness and "to be implemented as a set" is completely equivalent, assuming that by "set" we mean abstract implementation of ZFC axioms.

Feb 18, 2010 at 15:07 comment added kakaz @Joel:"Perhaps you believe that if M is a model of ZFC, then it must be closed under all the set-building operations that exist in V" No I know that, model of ZFC in V may be not closed in V. But I have idea that if it is model inside some V and then is a set in the meaning that meets ZFC axioms, then it is also a set in the meaning of some other model of ZFC for which V is a "closed structure", then a set. So as such structure would exist it will lead to contradiction. I know that: "Thus, M's version of the power set of X may be much smaller than the power set of X as computed in V" Thank You
