Abstract

This chapter discusses the simplest counter example to compactness in the constructible universe. Compactness is referred to as a generalization of the Barwise compactness theorem. It assumes the axiom of constructibility (V = L). A set C is simpler than B, if C is constructed before B in the usual procedure for generating the constructible universe. The chapter also reviews that the crucial tool is the Kueker approximation of a theory in L∞∞. The definition is a minor modification of Kueker's one, though equivalent to it for all practical matters.
