How to translate a generic extension into the language of forcing

77 Views Asked by At

In Jech's set theory, he says that the properties of the generic extension can be described entirely withing the ground model and also says if we assume the existence of a genric set $G$, $V[G]$ satisfies $\mathbf{A}$, where $V=\{x:x=x\}$ and $\mathbf{A}$ is a formula of set theory, is to be understood to mean "every $p\in P$ forces $\mathbf{A}$".

I really want to konw how the statements about $V[G]$ can be understood as statements in $V$ using the languege of forcing like above. I mean, how are the statements about the generic extension entirely understood (in the ground model) by the forcing language when we even assume the generic set $G$ exists?

And, how can we avoid this assumption to understand statements about $V[G]$ as statements of the forcing language?
