We have the following indirect implication of form equivalence classes:
			
| Implication | Reference | 
|---|---|
| 86-alpha \(\Rightarrow\) 8 | clear | 
| 8 \(\Rightarrow\) 9 | Was sind und was sollen die Zollen?, Dedekind, [1888] | 
| 9 \(\Rightarrow\) 17 | The independence of Ramsey's theorem, Kleinberg,  E.M. 1969, J. Symbolic Logic | 
Here are the links and statements of the form equivalence classes referenced above:
| Howard-Rubin Number | Statement | 
|---|---|
| 86-alpha: | \(C(\aleph_{\alpha},\infty)\): If \(X\) is a set of non-empty sets such that \(|X| = \aleph_{\alpha }\), then \(X\) has a choice function. | 
| 8: | \(C(\aleph_{0},\infty)\): | 
| 9: | Finite \(\Leftrightarrow\) Dedekind finite: \(W_{\aleph_{0}}\) Jech [1973b]: \(E(I,IV)\) Howard/Yorke [1989]): Every Dedekind finite set is finite. | 
| 17: | Ramsey's Theorem I: If \(A\) is an infinite set and the family of all 2 element subsets of \(A\) is partitioned into 2 sets \(X\) and \(Y\), then there is an infinite subset \(B\subseteq A\) such that all 2 element subsets of \(B\) belong to \(X\) or all 2 element subsets of \(B\) belong to \(Y\). (Also, see Form 325.), Jech [1973b], p 164 prob 11.20. |
