Corrected Todd-->Dan, and summarized that argument

Dec 16, 2014 at 14:02 comment added Joel David Hamkins Yes, I think there is no problem with that. If we are given the $\Delta_0$ diagram of the ground model, we can compute the $\Delta_0$ diagram of a symmetric generic extension.

Expanded and improved
Dec 16, 2014 at 11:48 comment added Wojowu Very interesting; just one more question: can we use similar methods to compute a symmetric model extensions?
Dec 16, 2014 at 2:35 comment added Joel David Hamkins @DanTuretsky, I would urge you to write your comment as an answer, since it does answer the question that was actually asked here. Meanwhile, the related question, where one wants to compute a forcing extension $M[G]$ from an oracle for $M$, is interesting but not yet answered.
Dec 16, 2014 at 0:09 comment added Joel David Hamkins @DanTuretsky That is an excellent point, Dan. Meanwhile, I do also find the question of whether one can compute a presentation of a forcing extension $M[G]$ from any presentation of $M$ also to be interesting. I suppose I have in mind also that the inclusion $M\subset M[G]$ should be computable, connecting the two presentations, but I have the feeling that this may be exactly what is too much.
Dec 16, 2014 at 0:04 comment added Dan Turetsky Nice answer. Let me just add that you don't need the $\Delta_0$ diagram if you just want some model, rather than a forcing extension. By standard arguments, any model of $ZF$ has $PA$-degree, and any $PA$-degree can compute a consistent completion of $ZFC + \neg CH$ (or any other computable, consistent set of axioms). From a complete theory, one then can perform an effective Henkin construction to get the full elementary diagram of a model.
