May 11, 2015 at 12:47 comment added Joel David Hamkins I think it is fine to keep the question, as long as it is clear what the question is.
May 11, 2015 at 12:44 comment added Dominic van der Zypen I see... ! Thanks Eric & Joel! - Can Eric write this as an answer, or is it better to delete the question?
May 11, 2015 at 12:40 comment added Joel David Hamkins Dominic, your edit to the post isn't the same as this! Now Eric's comment seems relevant.

May 11, 2015 at 12:34 comment added Dominic van der Zypen Exactly, Joel (and let's not forget $f\in V_f$ for $f\in (\omega+1)^\omega$). I will edit the post accordingly
May 11, 2015 at 12:31 comment added Joel David Hamkins Eric, my understanding of the question is that we want to find clopen $V_f\subset U_f$ with $f\in V_f$ so that $f\neq g\to V_f\cap V_g=\emptyset$. But I see that the OP did not say this exactly. Dominic, could you clarify?
May 11, 2015 at 12:25 comment added Eric Wofsey Can you not just take the $U_f$'s for $f$ such that if $f(n)<\omega$, then $f(n)<n$?
May 11, 2015 at 12:22 comment added Joel David Hamkins If the answer is affirmative, then the bounded case is certainly easier; but if the answer is negative, then it may be easier to find a counterexample in the general case.

May 11, 2015 at 12:19 comment added Dominic van der Zypen Maybe a special case that is more treatable is if I replace $[n,\omega]$ by $[1,\omega]$ in the definition of $U_f$ (or... if that is trivial, $[2, \omega$]).
May 11, 2015 at 12:17 comment added Joel David Hamkins Dominic, although it is a special case, it isn't clear to me that it is any easier than the general case.
May 11, 2015 at 12:14 comment added Dominic van der Zypen @JoelDavidHamkins I am asking now for a very particular case of the question you are referring to. Thanks for linking to that question, I will include it in this post.
May 11, 2015 at 12:11 comment added Joel David Hamkins See the OP's earlier unanswered related question: mathoverflow.net/q/194281/1946.

better definition of $U_f$
