Extract

In the literature, a type Γ is a set of formulas ϕ(ν0) in the one free variable ν0. A model M realizes Γ if there is an element a of M such that

M ╞ ϕ [a] for all ϕ ∈ Γ.

A model M omits Γ if no element of M realizes Γ. Evidently, the two statements:

(*) M realizes Γ

and

(**) M omits Γ
