Models of set theory are mathematical structures that provide interpretations for the axioms and theorems of set theory, allowing us to understand the implications and consistency of different set-theoretic statements. They serve as examples that illustrate how certain set-theoretic principles can hold true within various frameworks, highlighting independence results where certain propositions cannot be proven or disproven based on a given set of axioms.
