Models of Scott sentences are potentially isomorphic #

The tuple system supplied by a Scott sentence yields a back-and-forth system of finitely generated partial equivalences. This conclusion applies to models of arbitrary cardinality, not just countable models. It is the potential-isomorphism step in Dana Scott's Logic with denumerably long formulas and finite strings of quantifiers (1965).

Every model of the Scott sentence at a countable level is potentially isomorphic to the original structure. Neither internal stabilization nor countability of the model is needed.

Every model of the canonical Scott sentence is potentially isomorphic to the original structure, even when the model is uncountable.
