Mar 2, 2014 at 19:12 comment added Andreas Blass @AsafKaragila Right; Ccc for a poset is, as far as I can see, weaker than ccc for its Boolean completion.

Mar 2, 2014 at 15:19 comment added Asaf Karagila @Andreas: Oh yeah, you're absolutely right there. Generally, though, if $P$ satisfies c.c.c., it doesn't imply that $B(P)$, its Boolean completion, satisfies c.c.c. as well, right?
Mar 2, 2014 at 15:15 comment added Andreas Blass Concerning the complete Boolean algebra case in the last paragraph of your answer, the situation is even better. If $P$ is a complete Boolean algebra and satisfies the c.c.c., then $F(a)$ will be countable because the truth values $\Vert \dot f(\check a)=\check b\Vert$ constitute an antichain.
Mar 2, 2014 at 15:10 comment added Andreas Blass I'm also accustomed to calling it the maximality principle.
Mar 2, 2014 at 12:41 comment added Asaf Karagila Also, Joel, Arnie Miller calls this "the maximum principle", math.wisc.edu/~miller/res/max.pdf
Mar 2, 2014 at 12:41 comment added Asaf Karagila Joel, I believe that you might be right. And I also believe this is the $\omega_1$-th time that you mentioned that. But since this is in fact the $\omega_1$-th time, it doesn't seem to be catching on in my brain.
Mar 2, 2014 at 12:32 comment added Joel David Hamkins I believe that what you call the maximality principle is more commonly known as fullness.
