==Definition== Let ''ΞΊ'' be a [[finite set|finite]] or [[Infinity|infinite]] [[cardinal number]] and ''M'' a model in some [[first-order language]]. Then ''M'' is called '''''ΞΊ''-saturated''' if for all subsets ''A'' β ''M'' of [[cardinality]] less than ''ΞΊ'', the model ''M'' realizes all [[Type (model theory)|complete types]] over ''A''. The model ''M'' is called '''saturated''' if it is |''M''|-saturated where |''M''| denotes the cardinality of ''M''. That is, it realizes all complete types over sets of parameters of size less than |''M''|. According to some authors, a model ''M'' is called '''countably saturated''' if it is [[aleph-1 | <math>\aleph_1</math>]]-saturated; that is, it realizes all complete types over countable sets of parameters.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Morley|first=Michael|authorlink = Michael D.
