Jul 14, 2023 at 16:28 comment added Julia Williams @AdamEpstein My argument assumed a model of ZFC whose well-founded part contains an admissible ordinal $>\omega$, which is epsilon below having a transitive model. But that was just for convenience. It only takes a finite fragment of ZFC to prove that $V_{\omega+\omega}$ satisfies Z. You can run the same argument with a model $\bar M$ of KP + that finite fragment, and that's good enough to conclude that well-foundedness is not upward absolute for transitive models of Z. And of course ZFC proves the consistence of KP + that finite fragment, so we don't need to go beyond ZFC in consistency.
