Where on EARTH am I meant to have said this????!!!!!

An interpretation is "An allocation of significance to the terms of a
purely formal system, by specifying ranges for the variables,
denotations for the individual constants &c".

Setting a range for a variable is not the same as specifying a
reference for the individual constants.

An interpretation specifies the semantics of a language. That includes
specifying what possible values the variables can take. Bloody hell.
