On reflection, that is really my problem. I really don't understand
this 'truth in a model'. "A model is an interpretation of a set of
sentences that makes all the sentences true". But this definition uses
the word 'true'. 'S is true in M' seems to be asserting some relation
between S and M. But what is this relation? How do we define it
without using the word 'true'?

The only way I can approach this, is that the model is, or somehow
contains, the meaning of S. But that leads to bad things, it seems.
