Nov 8, 2010 at 6:36 comment added Amit Kumar Gupta Reitz and Hamkins have explored a possible axiom called the Ground Axiom, which states that $V$ is not a forcing extension of any inner model $W$ by a nontrivial forcing $\mathbb{P} \in W$. In your second paragraph you seem to define a notion of detectability but it doesn't appear that you ask an actual question. A result of Laver's is that if $V=M[G]$ is a forcing extension of $M$ by a set forcing $\mathbb{P} \in M$ then $M$ is definable in $V$ from parameters in $M$. So in a sense this says that if $V$ is a forcing extension, then it can detect the ground model.
