stub start

[edit]

Currently the stub relies on a single source (the SEP link) but I've got a couple others [Handbook of Mathematical Logic, Barwise, ed. and Admissible Sets and Structures] which treat of the theorem and can (and shall) be used to expand the article.

To-do:

  • >>> add statement of the theorem <<<
  • give enough context for infinitary logic, admissible sets, the regular compactness theorem
  • is the Kreisel theorem different from, a forerunner to, a different case of this theorem? I've seen it called the Kreisel-Barwise compactness theorem [where? I'll find out and note it here]
  • find a proof to include
