Abstract

It is known that IST (internal set theory) is a conservative extension of ZFC (Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory with the axiom of choice); see for example the appendix to [2] for a proof using ultrapowers and ultralimits. But these semantic constructions leave one wondering what actually makes the theory work-what are the inner mechanisms of Abraham Robinson's new logic. Let us examine the question syntactically. © 2007 Springer-Verlag Wien.
