If a definable property in a nonstandard model of Peano arithmetic holds of every standard natural number, then it holds of some nonstandard element. Equivalently, a definable set containing the entire standard cut of a nonstandard model of arithmetic must overspill beyond it.
This is the arithmetic case of overspill, which also applies to internal subsets of nonstandard extensions in analysis.
