This is the Rasiowa–Sikorski lemma. Put and recursively chooseusing density. SetIt contains , is upward closed toward weaker conditions, and is directed: if and , then is a common stronger condition in . It meets each through . Thus is the required generic filter for the prescribed countable family of dense sets. For a countable transitive model, externally enumerate its dense sets to obtain a generic filter over the model by this same argument.
