Abstract
We investigate the senses in which set-theoretic forcing can be seen as a computational process on the models of set theory. Given an oracle for the atomic or elementary diagram of a model of set theory ⟨M,∈M⟩, for example, we explain senses in which one may compute M-generic filters G⊂P∈M and the corresponding forcing extensions M[G]. Meanwhile, no such computational process is functorial, for there must always be isomorphic alternative presentations of the same model of set theory M that lead by the computational process to non-isomorphic forcing extensions M[G]≆M[G′]. Indeed, there is no Borel function providing generic filters that is functorial in this sense. This is joint work with Russell Miller and Kameryn Williams.
