We use "iterated square sequences" to show that there is an L-definable par
tition n : L-Singulars --> omega such that if M is an inner model not conta
ining 0(#):
(a) For some k, M satisfies {alpha\n(alpha) less than or equal to k} is sta
tionary.
(b) For each k there is a generic extension of M in which
0(#) does not exist and {alpha\n(alpha) less than or equal to k} is non-sta
tionary.
This result is then applied to show that if M is an inner model without 0(#
), then some Sigma(3)(1) sentence not true in M can be forced over M.
