A drawback to the above informal definition is that it requires quantification over all first-order formulas, which cannot be formalized in the standard language of set theory. However, there is a different, formal such characterization:
251:
It is consistent with the axioms of set theory that all sets are ordinal definable, and so hereditarily ordinal definable. The assertion that this situation holds is referred to as V = OD or V = HOD. It follows from
