Feb 23, 2010 at 15:25 comment added Joel David Hamkins Mike, yes, that condition is exactly what it takes to run the argument I gave above. Your condition on ordinals is just a special case of it, unless z is an ordinal completely on top of the V ordinals.
Feb 23, 2010 at 15:10 comment added Joel David Hamkins Yes, they are cofinal.
Feb 23, 2010 at 15:08 comment added Mike Shulman Ah, looks like maybe you already answered this question in the comments to Francois -- I was going to ask, in your last example, is it still true that the ordinals of the form j(a) are cofinal in the ordinals of M?
Feb 23, 2010 at 15:06 comment added Mike Shulman Thanks! I did have some expectation that this condition would allow names of ordinals whose "ordinal-ness" is "spread out over more than one ordinal" and thus not assertably equal to any particular one, but I think your last example is the one I was really looking for. I didn't state all of Blass & Scedrov's other requirements, but I'm guessing that that example also violates their condition defining the inclusion of V in M, namely $[[z \in \check{x}]] = \bigvee_{y\in x} [[z = \check{y}]]$ for all x in V. Is that right?

Added counterexample at end.
