Theorem 5.4: Suppose < S , W ,C, 9 ) is ordinalized. Then every ordinal in V is uniquely representable by an element of 9. Proofi Immediate by lemma 5.3. Remark 5.5: Although it seems unlikely, it is conceivable that some ordinal not in Y might be representable by an element of 9. In fact this can not happen. Suppose for some y$V PEY.For some UE V 9 ~ 9 ’ ~ . The class of elements of 9’ which are ordinal representatives is definable over V. The intersection of this class with Yais a set, i.e. an element of V. But the relation r k a ( x e y ) well-orders this set, the relation is in V, and the order type must be y (or greater). Hence ye V.
