1. In this paper we construct a model for part of the system NF of [4]. Specifically, we define a relation R of natural numbers such that the R-relativiseds of all the axioms except P9 of Hailperin's finitization [2] of NF become theorems of say Zermelo set theory. We start with an informal explanation of the model.2. Scrutiny of P1-P8 of [2] suggests that a model for these axioms might be constructed by so to speak starting with a universe that contained a “universe set” and a “cardinal 1”, and passing to its closure under the operations implicit in P1-P7, viz., the Boolean, the domain, the direct product, the converse, and the mixtures of product and inverse operations represented by P3 and P4. To obtain such closure we must find a way of representing the operations that involve ordered pairs and triples.We take as universe of the model the set of natural numbers ω; we let 0 represent the “universe set” and 1 represent “cardinal 1”. Then, in order to be able to refer in the model to the unordered pair of two sets, we determine all representatives of unordered pairs in advance by assigning them the even numbers in unique fashion (see d3 and d25); we can now define the operations that involve ordered pairs and triples, and obtain closure under them using the odd numbers. It remains to weed out, as in d26, the unnecessary sets so as to satisfy the axiom of extensionality.

AbstractPartial models of the theory New Foundations (NF) introduced by Quine have already appeared in the literature, but in every model the membership set of NF is missing. On the other hand, Jensen showed that “NF + Urelements” is consistent with respect to ZF and, in the model built there, the membership set of the theory exists, Here we build a partial model of NF from the one of Jensen in which the membership set exists.
