A property of reflects below whenis unbounded in . The standard elementary-embedding reflection argument starts with any . Since and , the target model can use itself as a witness toElementarity then gives a witness with in the domain.
For a concrete example, the property of being a strongly inaccessible cardinal reflects below . A measurable cardinal is strongly inaccessible, and the assumed inclusion makes this assertion about absolute between and : both models have all subsets of every ordinal below . Thus sees that is strongly inaccessible. Given , it therefore satisfiesElementarity supplies a strongly inaccessible between and in . As was arbitrary, the strongly inaccessible cardinals below are unbounded.
