Now we turn to the absolutness of the notion of constructibility. There is a formula Λ(x) which says that x is constructible, and which holds in L iff it holds in V. Λ(x) is not Δ0, nor is it absolute over all transitive classes, so some subtleties come into play. (It is absolute between models of ZF.) Continue reading
