    Challenges→The Geach–Boolos model cannot be relied upon to secure the consistency of Frege Arithmetic in conjunction with other theories such as set theory.

    A consistency proof that holds only in isolation does not guarantee consistency when the system is combined with other theories.

    Boolos (1987), after raising qualms about the universal number, provided an ingenious model (which had been anticipated informally by Geach (1975: 446–7)) to allay the misgiving about the consistency of full second-order logic with HP (the system now known as FA, for ‘Frege Arithmetic’). Simply take the natural numbers along with the distinct object ω as the elements of the domain. The element ω serves as the denotation of any term of the form #xΦ(x) where Φ is satisfied by infinitely many eleme
