Abstract

Fix a countable nonstandard model M\mathcal M of Peano Arithmetic. Even with some rather severe restrictions placed on the types of minimal cofinal extensions NM\mathcal N \succ \mathcal M that are allowed, we still find that there are 202^{\aleph_0} possible theories of (N,M)(\mathcal N,M) for such N\mathcal N's.
