Description
Summary:The concept of free as in "free group" is generalized to any first order theory. An interesting class of homomorphisms between models is discussed. Relations between model theory and abelian categories are discussed speculatively. This paper represents an incomplete study and may contain serious errors. A knowledge of model theory, and of MIT course 18.892 in particular is assumed.
