While "\(0^\sharp\) exists" does not at face value seem to imply the failure of the axiom of constructibility, clauses 2, 3, 5 and 6 more clearly show that this is the case. Also, "\(0^\sharp\) exists" strictly implies the following:

If \(0^\sharp\) exists, then it is defined as the (real corresponding to) the set of \(\ulcorner \varphi \urcorner\) where \(\varphi\) is a first-order formula with \(n\) free variables and \(L_{\aleph_\omega} \models \varphi(\aleph_0, \aleph_1, \cdots, \aleph_n)\). Since \(0^\sharp\) exists, this is equivalent to \(L \models \varphi(\aleph_0, \aleph_1, \cdots, \aleph_n)\). Note that, since \(L_{\aleph_\omega}\) is a set, \(\mathrm{ZFC}\) can define a truth predicate for it, and so the existence of \(0^\sharp\) as a mere set of formulas is trivial. It is interesting only when there are is a proper class of Silver indiscernibles.

Alternatively, \(0^\sharp\) may be defined as a sound mouse (iterable premouse), or as an Ehrenfeucht-Mostowski blueprint.
