- In some areas of algebra, I think that the answer to your second
- question is "Yes":
- Each Boolean algebra has a standard model as an algebra of sets via
- Stone's theorem, each group has a standard model as a permutation group
- via Cayley's theorem. Standard models of relation algebras are algebras
- of binary relations, and there are non-standard models (i.e. non -
- representable relation algebras) by a theorem of Lyndon.
