The two conventions reverse the order relation. In standard notation for forcing, means that is stronger than . Thus and are incompatible forcing conditions when there is no with and , while is a dense set whenIn Jerusalem notation for forcing, means that is stronger than . Incompatibility therefore means that there is no with and , and density means

LetFor each natural number , conditions whose stem has length at least form a dense subset of a forcing order, so the generic filter meets all of them and .
Fix . The setis dense: from replace by . Choose . Every stronger condition must put each newly added stem value above , sofor every . Thus is a dominating real over .
