Axiom Of Choice

We have the following indirect implication of form equivalence classes:

430-p \(\Rightarrow\) 337 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
430-p:	(Where \(p\) is a prime) \(AL21\)\((p)\): Every vector space over \(\mathbb Z_p\) has the property that for every subspace \(S\) of \(V\), there is a subspace \(S'\) of \(V\) such that \(S \cap S' = \{ 0 \}\) and \(S \cup S'\) generates \(V\) in other words such that \(V = S \oplus S'\). Rubin, H./Rubin, J [1985], p.119, AL21.
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.
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 \(X\).
