forcing



 
Rosen often uses the term "forcing" in an informal way that I always assumed to be synonymous with the term "force". However, while reading "Are Our Modeling Paradigm Non Generic?" chapter of Essays on Life Itself  he mentions "forcing" in connection with Paul Cohen and his proof regarding the continuum hypothesis. Does he intend for the term "forcing" to refer to Paul Cohen's technique in most of his writings?
