Since the strongly inaccessible cardinal is inaccessible, is a model of ZFC. The Downward Lowenheim-Skolem theorem gives an elementary substructureof cardinality such thatOne may obtain concretely as the Skolem hull of this set; its cardinality remains because the language of set theory is countable and .
Apply the Mostowski collapse theorem to and write for the collapse. Then is a transitive set, , and fixes pointwise. It also fixes , because it fixes every ordinal below . By elementarity, satisfies ZFC and regards as a kappa-complete filter that is a nonprincipal ultrafilter on . Therefore, with ,The internal ultrafilter need not equal the original .
