Give a model of the sentence

ϕeq=x[R1(x,x)]\phi _{eq} = \forall x [R_{1}(x,x) ]
x,y[R1(x,x)R1(y,x)]\wedge \forall x,y [R_{1}(x,x)\longleftrightarrow R_{1}(y,x)]
x,y,z[R1(x,y)R1(y,z)R1(x,z)]\wedge \forall x,y,z [R_{1}(x,y)\wedge R_{1}(y,z) \rightarrow R_{1}(x,z)].

The statement ϕeq\phi _{eq} gives the three conditions of an equivalence relation. A model (A, R1R_{1}), where A is any universe and R1R_{1} is any equivalence relation over A, is a model of ϕeq\phi _{eq}. For example, let A be the integers Z and let R1R_{1} = {(i, i)| i ∈ Z}.
