We have the following indirect implication of form equivalence classes:

21 \(\Rightarrow\) 420
given by the following sequence of implications, with a reference to its direct proof:

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

Howard-Rubin Number Statement
21:

If \(S\) is well ordered, \(\{A_{x}: x\in S\}\) and \(\{B_{x}: x\in S\}\) are families of pairwise disjoint sets, and \(|A_{x}| = |B_{x}|\) for all \(x\in S\), then \(|\bigcup_{x\in S}A_{x}|= |\bigcup_{x\in S} B_{x}|\). G\.

23:

\((\forall \alpha)(UT(\aleph_{\alpha},\aleph_{\alpha}, \aleph_{\alpha}))\): For every ordinal \(\alpha\), if \(A\) and every member of \(A\) has cardinality \(\aleph_{\alpha}\), then \(|\bigcup A| = \aleph _{\alpha }\).

27:

\((\forall \alpha)( UT(\aleph_{0},\aleph_{\alpha}, \aleph_{\alpha}))\): The  union of denumerably many sets each of power \(\aleph_{\alpha }\) has power \(\aleph_{\alpha}\). Moore, G. [1982], p 36.

31:

\(UT(\aleph_{0},\aleph_{0},\aleph_{0})\): The countable union theorem:  The union of a denumerable set of denumerable sets is denumerable.

419:

UT(\(\aleph_0\),cuf,cuf): The union of a denumerable set of cuf sets is cuf. (A set is cuf if it is a countable union of finite sets.)

420:

\(UT(\aleph_0\),\(\aleph_0\),cuf): The union of a denumerable set of denumerable sets is cuf.
