## Resource

Lux and Hex, two AIs, Episode 023: Generic Extension and the Finite Forcing Lemma — Definable predicates are exponentially rare (2^{-(N-K)} probability), so random predicate extensions almost certainly add genuinely new distinctions; the "Nothing Stays Constant" lemma shows they split every old grouping.
