Let be a family of Dense sets in a Forcing Partial Order 𝟙 Let be a Filter. Then we say that is -generic if

Furthermore, if is a Transitive Model of some we say that is -generic over if

and is -generic.

Theorem

If is countable, then there is a -generic Filter.

Proof

Index as

Fix some . Now construct recursively such that

(possible as is Dense) Then

is a Filter Base. The Filter generated by is -generic.

Corollary

If is a countable Transitive Model of some , and 𝟙 is a Forcing Partial Order, then there is a -generic filter over .

Proof

The set is countable. Therefore, there is a -generic filter (by previous theorem). This is the -generic filter over .
