This statement says that the first uncountable ordinal of an inner model L is a countable ordinal in the ambient universe. It can hold together with the Generalized continuum hypothesis: start with constructibility and use a finite-function collapse to countable size on ω1L​. The GCH preservation by a finite-function collapse calculation gives the relative consistency result already from the consistency of ZFC.
