Union of a Chain of Models
Statement
Fix a linearly-ordered index set , and take a collection of -structures such that when we know that is a substructure of .
Let be the union of all . This is well-defined because they form a chain.
Then:
Given an -theory where each sentence is of the form with quantifier-free, if each models , then so does
If instead of we had , then each is an elementary substructure of 1
Apparently the proof for this is induction on formulas?
