With an uncountable regular cardinal, finite partial functions on assigning a value below the first coordinate collapse every ground ordinal below to countable size. The Delta-system lemma gives the chain condition for forcing; the possible-values lemma for chain-condition forcing then preserves the regularity of . Therefore becomes the extension . Strong inaccessibility is enough but is not needed for this identification.
