Axiom Of Choice

We have the following indirect implication of form equivalence classes:

333 \(\Rightarrow\) 104 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
333:	\(MC(\infty,\infty,\mathrm{odd})\): For every set \(X\) of sets such that for all \(x\in X\), \(\|x\|\ge 1\), there is a function \(f\) such that for every \(x\in X\), \(f(x)\) is a finite, non-empty subset of \(x\) and \(\|f(x)\|\) is odd.
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).
89:	Antichain Principle: Every partially ordered set has a maximal antichain. Jech [1973b], p 133.
90:	\(LW\): Every linearly ordered set can be well ordered. Jech [1973b], p 133.
51:	Cofinality Principle: Every linear ordering has a cofinal sub well ordering. Sierpi\'nski [1918], p 117.
25:	\(\aleph _{\beta +1}\) is regular for all ordinals \(\beta\).
34:	\(\aleph_{1}\) is regular.
104:	There is a regular uncountable aleph. Jech [1966b], p 165 prob 11.26.
