Axiom Of Choice

We have the following indirect implication of form equivalence classes:

109 \(\Rightarrow\) 413 given by the following sequence of implications, with a reference to its direct proof:

Implication	Reference
109 \(\Rightarrow\) 66	clear
66 \(\Rightarrow\) 67	Existence of a basis implies the axiom of choice, Blass, A. 1984a, Contemporary Mathematics
67 \(\Rightarrow\) 144	Axioms of multiple choice, Levy, A. 1962, Fund. Math.
144 \(\Rightarrow\) 413	Constructive order theory, Ern'e, M. 2001, Math. Logic Quart.

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

Howard-Rubin Number	Statement
109:	Every field \(F\) and every vector space \(V\) over \(F\) has the property that each linearly independent set \(A\subseteq V\) can be extended to a basis. H.Rubin/J.~Rubin [1985], pp 119ff.
66:	Every vector space over a field has a basis.
67:	\(MC(\infty,\infty)\) \((MC)\), The Axiom of Multiple Choice: For every set \(M\) of non-empty sets there is a function \(f\) such that \((\forall x\in M)(\emptyset\neq f(x)\subseteq x\) and \(f(x)\) is finite).
144:	Every set is almost well orderable.
413:	Every infinite set \(S\) is the union of a set, well-ordered by inclusion, of subsets which are non-equipollent to \(S\).
