An strongly inaccessible cardinal has the Keisler extension property when there is a proper transitive set such that
Suppose is strongly inaccessible and has this property. Because properly extends the transitive set , it contains . Strong inaccessibility of is downward absolute from the ambient universe to the transitive set : any internal witness that is countable, singular, or not a strong limit would also be an ambient witness. Hencewith as a witness. Since , the same sentence holds in . Its witness is an ordinal . The set contains , so it computes all subsets of cardinals below correctly; strong inaccessibility of is therefore absolute between and the universe. Thus there is a strongly inaccessible , and cannot be the least strongly inaccessible cardinal.
