Nov 21, 2020 at 7:23 comment added AnduinWilde "an identification of a mathematical concept and an intuitive (i.e., pre-mathematical) concept. The former is the usual theory of the integers (N) as developed for example by von Neumann in a set-theoretic context. The latter are (the totality of) the familiar numbers that human beings are familiar with before they learn anything about set theory." In fact, the latter is also mathematical concept, for before the formalization is invented, mathematics has existed for 2000 years! And many of the mathematicians for now don't even learn the logic.

Mar 16, 2016 at 17:53 comment added Carl Mummert I have deleted several comments which I think are covered by the answer that I wrote.
Mar 16, 2016 at 16:24 comment added Mikhail Katz @Carl my question was not meant to challenge what you describe as a vast majority but rather to find a proper reference.

Mar 16, 2016 at 15:50 comment added Mikhail Katz @Carl, Wang speaks of "ordinary" integers, implying the numbers familiar to people before they learn ZFC, whereas Shoenfield speaks of "natural numbers" which is just another term for elements of the ZFC $\mathbb{N}$. I will elaborate in the question.
Mar 16, 2016 at 14:29 comment added Mikhail Katz @CarlMummert, Hajek and Pudlak on page 12 write that "0.28. Recall that N is the set of natural numbers." Shoenfield on page 23 does something similar, referring to "the obvious individuals" but without explaining what those obvious things are. Neither of these addresses my question.

Mar 7, 2016 at 17:54 comment added Mikhail Katz Sounds intriguing. Can you elaborate?
Mar 7, 2016 at 17:49 comment added Semen Kutateladze I think that any intended interpretation of numbers today is much more immaterial today than it was in the last century. The diversity of interpretations has taken its place.

Mar 6, 2016 at 10:00 comment added Mikhail Katz @CarlMummert, if you get a chance format your comment as an answer keeping in mind that, as clarified in the question, I am not looking for occurrences of using the term "intended interpretation" to describe "a standard $\mathbb{N}$" but rather for occurrences of identification of it with the ordinary counting numbers.
Mar 4, 2016 at 6:38 comment added user12283 I agree with Gabriel Nivasch's "I don't know why would you want a reference for such an obvious thing". The very question may very well be a sign that there is something wrong about your general approach to mathematics. With this philosophy-style(?) approach we would never get anything done.

Mar 3, 2016 at 12:38 comment added Todd Trimble I am casting a last vote to reopen, because I think the reason for closure as "unclear what you're asking" is not particularly apt. An answer has been provided in comments and it seems (based on the discussion) that it will be accepted as answering the question.
Mar 3, 2016 at 10:33 comment added Gabriel Nivasch Let us continue this discussion in chat.
Mar 3, 2016 at 10:33 comment added Mikhail Katz @GabrielNivasch could you possibly provide the section numbers? I was able to locate a second edition but not the third edition.
Mar 3, 2016 at 10:31 comment added Gabriel Nivasch I mean 62 of the book numbering, not of the PDF document numbering
Mar 3, 2016 at 10:30 comment added Mikhail Katz @GabrielNivasch I find neither "interpretation" nor "model" on page 62 in the second edition.
Mar 3, 2016 at 10:26 comment added Gabriel Nivasch Third edition, 2010
Mar 3, 2016 at 10:25 comment added Mikhail Katz @GabrielNivasch, thanks. I see that there are several editions of this. Which edition are your page numbers from?
Mar 3, 2016 at 10:22 comment added Gabriel Nivasch I don't know why would you want a reference for such an obvious thing, but here it is: Rautenberg's "A concise introduction to mathematical logic". On page 62 he says that "interpretation" = "model", on page 105 he defines $\mathcal N=(\mathbb N, 0, S, +, \cdot)$, and on page 106 he calls $\mathcal N$ the standard model. (You might be able to download the book as PDF from Springer through your institution's library.)

Mar 2, 2016 at 15:49 comment added Mikhail Katz All Schagrin now, but both Wang and Schagrin are signed at the bottom.
Mar 2, 2016 at 15:47 comment added Mikhail Katz @EmilJeřábek well this goes to show that it is better to have a traditional reference :-) Do you have one in mind by any chance?
Mar 2, 2016 at 15:45 comment added Emil Jeřábek Now it’s all Wang for me. Sounds like content dynamically generated from a database gone bananas.
Mar 2, 2016 at 15:44 comment added Mikhail Katz Somebody seems to be playing with that page as we speak. My browser currently identifies first page with Schagrin, second with Wang, and third with Schagrin again.
Mar 2, 2016 at 15:42 comment added Emil Jeřábek Interesting. For me, it’s exactly the opposite (the first page Schagrin, the next two Wang).
Mar 2, 2016 at 15:39 comment added Mikhail Katz @EmilJeřábek, thanks for your comment. The article in EB is in three pages. The first page is attributed to Hao Wang in my browser, and the second and third to Schagrin.
Mar 2, 2016 at 15:38 comment added Emil Jeřábek The linked Britannica page is terribly broken in all browsers I tried, nevertheless it appears to credit the text to Morton L. Schagrin rather than Wang.
Mar 2, 2016 at 15:36 comment added logicute Computation and logic in the real world, proceedings of Computability in Europe (CIE) 2007. It's mostly a recap of some intuition about Tennenbaum's theorem though.
Mar 2, 2016 at 15:14 comment added Mikhail Katz @logicute, it seems that Paula Quinon posted this at philpapers already in 2006 but where did the article appear?
Mar 2, 2016 at 15:08 comment added Mikhail Katz @logicute, that sounds promising. Who is it by? Why don't you format this as an answer?
Mar 2, 2016 at 15:05 comment added logicute Doesn't "The Intended Model of Arithmetic. An Argument from Tennenbaum’s Theorem" fit the bill?
Mar 2, 2016 at 14:58 comment added Mikhail Katz @logicute, right, and I am looking for a reference that reproduces Wang's characterisation in a more traditional venue.
Mar 2, 2016 at 14:56 comment added logicute Wang's sentence describes the intended model of arithmetic, not what an intended model is supposed to be. So it is consistent with "always".
Mar 2, 2016 at 14:40 comment added Mikhail Katz @logicute, when you say "always" you seem to ignore the sentence I reproduced from Wang. Wang proposes a characterisation of an intended model (I didn't claim that it is a mathematical definition).
Mar 2, 2016 at 14:31 comment added logicute Not at all, hence the "I think". If it was unclear, I meant that 'intended model' seems to have always been taken for its intuitive value and not as a mathematical concept. But it seems that "the model of the second-order theory" seems like a good candidate for a definition.
Mar 2, 2016 at 14:06 comment added Mikhail Katz @logicute Do you have a source for that?

Mar 2, 2016 at 12:58 comment added logicute Standard model is also 'intended model', which as a general notion is not a mathematical one (Hodges does not give a definition, and Skolem probably not). However I think the right way to define standard model (at least in the case of Peano arithmetic) is to define the standard model as the model of the second-order theory.
