We have the following indirect implication of form equivalence classes:

20 \(\Rightarrow\) 205
given by the following sequence of implications, with a reference to its direct proof:

Implication Reference
20 \(\Rightarrow\) 101 Partition principles and infinite sums of cardinal numbers, Higasikawa, M. 1995, Notre Dame J. Formal Logic
101 \(\Rightarrow\) 205 On some weak forms of the axiom of choice in set theory, Pelc, A. 1978, Bull. Acad. Polon. Sci. S'er. Sci. Math. Astronom. Phys.

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

Howard-Rubin Number Statement
20:

If \(\{A_{x}: x \in S \}\) and \(\{B_{x}: x \in  S\}\) are families  of pairwise disjoint sets and \( |A_{x}| = |B_{x}|\) for all \(x\in S\), then \(|\bigcup_{x\in S}A_{x}| = |\bigcup_{x\in S} B_{x}|\). Moore [1982] (1.4.12 and 1.7.8).

101:

Partition Principle:  If \(S\) is a partition of \(M\), then \(S \precsim M\).

205:

For all cardinals \(m\) and \(n\), if \(m\le^* n\) and \(\neg (n\le^* m)\) then there is a cardinal \(k \le n\) such that \(m\le^* k\).
