Take $\lambda =\omega \cdot 2$. This is a limit ordinal greater than $\omega$. There is a recursive well-order code $R$ for ${\omega }^2$: for example, use a recursive pairing of the natural numbers with $\omega \times \omega$ and the lexicographic order consisting of $\omega$ successive blocks of order type $\omega$. Since $R$ is definable over $L_{\omega }$, it belongs to $L_{\omega +1}$ and hence to $L_{\omega \cdot 2}$.

The representation of $R$ is ${\omega }^2$, butand the ordinals belonging to $L_{\lambda }$ are exactly those below $\lambda$. Thus $R\in L_{\lambda }$ while its representation is not in $L_{\lambda }$, violating the second requirement for a coding level of the constructible hierarchy.

Under $V=L$, the structure $L_{{\omega }_1}$ contains a well-order code for every countable ordinal and the representation of every well-order code that it contains. Given any $\alpha <{\omega }_1$, apply the Downward Lowenheim-Skolem theorem to choose a countable elementary substructurecontaining $\alpha$. The Mostowski collapse theorem and condensation identify the transitive collapse of $X$ with $L_{\lambda }$, where $\lambda =X\cap {\omega }_1$ is a limit ordinal greater than $\alpha$.

Elementarity now verifies both coding properties. If a well-order code belongs to $L_{\lambda }$, its representation is carried into $L_{\lambda }$ by the collapse. Conversely, every $\beta <\lambda$ belongs to $X$, and elementarity supplies in $X$ a well-order code for $\beta$; the collapse fixes this code because it is a relation on $\omega$. Hence $L_{\lambda }$ is a coding level of the constructible hierarchy. Such $\lambda$ occur unboundedly below ${\omega }_1$, so $\Gamma$ has at least ${\aleph }_1$ elements; since $\Gamma \subseteq {\omega }_1$, it has exactly
