Axiom Of Choice

We have the following indirect implication of form equivalence classes:

259 \(\Rightarrow\) 337 given by the following sequence of implications, with a reference to its direct proof:

Implication	Reference
259 \(\Rightarrow\) 51	Variations of Zorn's lemma, principles of cofinality, and Hausdorff's maximal principle, Part I and II, Harper, J. 1976, Notre Dame J. Formal Logic
51 \(\Rightarrow\) 337	Non-constructive properties of the real numbers, Howard, P. 2001, Math. Logic Quart.

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

Howard-Rubin Number	Statement
259:	\(Z(TR\&C,W)\): If \((X,R)\) is a transitive and connected relation in which every well ordered subset has an upper bound, then \((X,R)\) has a maximal element.
51:	Cofinality Principle: Every linear ordering has a cofinal sub well ordering. Sierpi\'nski [1918], p 117.
337:	\(C(WO\), uniformly linearly ordered): If \(X\) is a well ordered collection of non-empty sets and there is a function \(f\) defined on \(X\) such that for every \(x\in X\), \(f(x)\) is a linear ordering of \(x\), then there is a choice function for \(X\).
