Axiom Of Choice

We have the following indirect implication of form equivalence classes:

174-alpha \(\Rightarrow\) 249 given by the following sequence of implications, with a reference to its direct proof:

Implication	Reference
174-alpha \(\Rightarrow\) 9	Horrors of topology without AC: A non-normal orderable space, van Douwen, E.K. 1985, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. note-49
9 \(\Rightarrow\) 10	Zermelo's Axiom of Choice, Moore, 1982, 322
10 \(\Rightarrow\) 249

Here are the links and statements of the form equivalence classes referenced above:

Howard-Rubin Number	Statement
174-alpha:	\(RM1,\aleph_{\alpha }\): The representation theorem for multi-algebras with \(\aleph_{\alpha }\) unary operations: Assume \((A,F)\) is a multi-algebra with \(\aleph_{\alpha }\) unary operations (and no other operations). Then there is an algebra \((B,G)\) with \(\aleph_{\alpha }\) unary operations and an equivalence relation \(E\) on \(B\) such that \((B/E,G/E)\) and \((A,F)\) are isomorphic multi-algebras.
9:	Finite \(\Leftrightarrow\) Dedekind finite: \(W_{\aleph_{0}}\) Jech [1973b]: \(E(I,IV)\) Howard/Yorke [1989]): Every Dedekind finite set is finite.
10:	\(C(\aleph_{0},< \aleph_{0})\): Every denumerable family of non-empty finite sets has a choice function.
249:	If \(T\) is an infinite tree in which every element has exactly 2 immediate successors then \(T\) has an infinite branch.
