The two-argument version of Fn forcing consists of finite partial functions:
Thus a stronger condition specifies more values. The empty partial function is the greatest condition. Two conditions are compatible forcing conditions exactly when they agree on their common domain; if they do, their set union is a common strengthening. This is in the three-argument convention for Fn forcing. If or is empty, only the empty condition exists. For infinite and at least two elements in , assigning two different values at a fresh coordinate proves that this is an atomless forcing order.
