Let Mn+1​=Mn​[Gn​] for a fixed atomless forcing order P, and N=⋃n<ω​Mn​. If a set A∈N were its internal power set of P, choose n with A∈Mn​. The next generic filter Gn​ belongs to N, so Gn​∈A; transitivity of Mn​ implies Gn​∈Mn​, contradicting generic filter for an atomless order is new. The chain is increasing but need not be an elementary chain.
