To this sake we prove that the theory of densely ordered sets with generic predicates is ℵ0- categorical. A model of the theory and a particular continuous choice-function are constructed. This function transfers to all other models by the respective isomorphisms. If some common-sense conditions are fulfilled, the processes are computable. As a byproduct, other functions with surprising properties can be constructed.
