Nov 14, 2019 at 0:44 comment added Thomas Benjamin (cont.) models here), certainly is a sense of the phrase, "which in turn are determined by which ordinals are in $M$. What would be more interesting is providing a proof that adding new (imaginary?) ordinals to the model you speak of in your example will recover $V$ = $L$. Can you and/or Prof. Blass do this? It would certainly if either of you could. Thanks in advance for hour help.
Nov 14, 2019 at 0:37 comment added Thomas Benjamin @NoahSchweber: You are correct in your statement, "we can have models with the same ordinals but with different sets of ordinals (and the example you gave is great as well!), but I think that you and Prof. Blass, and I, are talking at cross purposes here. The phrase I used, "which in turn are determined by which ordinals are in $M$", has different senses, and you and Prof. Blass chose one sense, and I another. The sense I used , namely, that the ordinals in $M$ form the basis from which $P^{M}$ forms the other sets of ordinals (let us assume, for the sake of argument, that we are using set
Nov 13, 2019 at 3:28 comment added Noah Schweber @ThomasBenjamin You wrote that the sets of ordinals in $M$ are determined by the ordinals in $M$. But that's not true: we can have models with the same ordinals but with different sets of ordinals. (E.g. if $M$ is any model of ZFC + $\neg$V=L, then $M$ and $L^M$ have the same ordinals but have different sets of ordinals.)
Nov 12, 2019 at 22:39 comment added Thomas Benjamin @AndreasBlass: Although you are certainly correct in stating that "Two transitive models of $ZFC$ with the same ordinals need not have the same sets of ordinals", I am unclear why my added statement, "which in turn is determined by which ordinals are in $M$" ('is should be replaced by 'are' in that statement) should imply that models of $ZFC$ having the same ordinals should have the same sets of ordinals. Nevertheless, I have removed the offending "added comment" and placed it where it hopefully won't cause me any problems.

removed added comment where it shouldn't be and placed it where it should be, and added a parenthesis where it should be as well
Nov 12, 2019 at 1:40 comment added Andreas Blass Your added comment, "which in turn is determined by which ordinals are in $M$," is wrong. Two transitive models of ZFC with the same ordinals need not have the same sets of ordinals.

Corrected spelling mistake.
