Abstract

We present a variation of the forcing $\mathbb{S}_{max}$ as presented in Woodin [4]. Our forcing is a $\mathbb{P}_{max}$-style construction where each model condition selects one Souslin tree. In the extension there is a Souslin tree T$_G$ which is the direct limit of the selected Souslin trees in the models of the generic. In some sense, the generic extension is a maximal model of "there exists a minimal Souslin tree," with T$_G$ being this minimal tree. In particular, in the extension this Souslin tree has the property that forcing with it gives a model of Souslin's Hypothesis
