We have the following indirect implication of form equivalence classes:

408 \(\Rightarrow\) 390
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
408:

If \(\{f_i: i\in I\}\) is a family of functions such that for each \(i\in I\), \(f_i\subseteq E\times W\), where \(E\) and \(W\) are non-empty sets, and \(\cal B\) is a filter base on \(I\) such that

  1. For all \(B\in\cal B\) and all finite \(F\subseteq E\) there is an \(i\in I\) such that \(f_i\) is defined on \(F\), and
  2. For all \(B \in\cal B\) and all finite \(F\subseteq E\) there exist at most finitely many functions on \(F\) which are restrictions of the functions \(f_i\) with \(i\in I\),  
then there is a function \(f\) with domain \(E\) such that for each finite \(F\subseteq E\) and each \(B\in\cal B\) there is an \(i\in I\) such that \(f|F = f_i|F\).

62:

\(C(\infty,< \aleph_{0})\):  Every set of non-empty finite  sets  has  a choice function.

61:

\((\forall n\in\omega, n\ge 2\))\((C(\infty,n))\): For each \(n\in\omega\), \(n\ge 2\), every set of \(n\) element  sets has a choice function.

45-n:

If \(n\in\omega-\{0,1\}\), \(C(\infty,n)\): Every set of \(n\)-element sets has a choice function.

64:

\(E(I,Ia)\) There are no amorphous sets. (Equivalently, every infinite set is the union of two disjoint infinite sets.)

390:

Every infinite set can be partitioned either into two infinite sets or infinitely many sets, each of which has at least two elements. Ash [1983].
