The common-iterate conjecture for generic generators

Let VV satisfy obreakADR+obreakNLE+V=L((R)) obreak\textsf{AD}_{\mathbb R}+ obreak\textsf{NLE}+V=L({\wp}(\mathbb R)). Let obreakΔ(R) obreak\Delta\subseteq{\wp}(\mathbb R) and let gColl(ω1,R)g\subseteq\operatorname{Coll}(\omega_1,\mathbb R). In V[g]V[g], let (P,Σ)(\mathcal P,\Sigma) and (Q,Λ)(\mathcal Q,\Lambda) be generic generators for obreakΔ obreak\Delta of the same type, either both pure extender pairs or both hod pairs, with sup(W(P)W(Q))<ω1\sup(W(\mathcal P)\cup W(\mathcal Q))<\omega_1. Common-iterate conjecture. In V[g]V[g], there is a common iterate (R,Ψ)(\mathcal R,\Psi) of (P,Σ)(\mathcal P,\Sigma) and (Q,Λ)(\mathcal Q,\Lambda) such that, for the iteration embeddings i:L[P]L[R]i:L[\mathcal P]\to L[\mathcal R] and j:L[Q]L[R]j:L[\mathcal Q]\to L[\mathcal R], one has i(ω1)=ω1=j(ω1)i(\omega_1)=\omega_1=j(\omega_1). The text states that this comparison result would suffice, together with the preceding non-badness conjecture, to establish LEC or HPC; it is proved only under additional hypotheses such as NWLW.
