Finitely non-standard models of Robinson arithmetic

I have just uploaded to my research section a draft of a chapter of my to-be-completed PhD thesis.
The chapter is a systematic study of finitely non-standard models of Robinson arithmetic—that is, it is a systematic study of those models of Robinson arithmetic that have a finite non-empty set of non-standard numbers.
In addition to the chapter draft, I have also uploaded to my research section Coq and Python source files corresponding to the sources referenced and included verbatim in the draft.
In the process of completing my thesis, I expect no substantial changes to the uploaded draft’s content. In that sense the draft may be seen as an all-but-finished version of the chapter. A sense in which it may not be seen thus is given by its multitude of typographical mishaps: missing glyphs, inconsistent vertical and horizontal spacings, margin overflows, et cetera. These mishaps will of course be fixed before inclusion in the final version of the thesis. Thus in case anyone wants to refer to the draft: do include the version—that is, do include the date and time printed on the first page of the draft.
