Axiom Of Choice

We have the following indirect implication of form equivalence classes:

43 \(\Rightarrow\) 216 given by the following sequence of implications, with a reference to its direct proof:

Implication	Reference
43 \(\Rightarrow\) 8	clear
8 \(\Rightarrow\) 9	Was sind und was sollen die Zollen?, Dedekind, [1888]
9 \(\Rightarrow\) 10	Zermelo's Axiom of Choice, Moore, 1982, 322
10 \(\Rightarrow\) 216

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

Howard-Rubin Number	Statement
43:	\(DC(\omega)\) (DC), Principle of Dependent Choices: If \(S\) is a relation on a non-empty set \(A\) and \((\forall x\in A) (\exists y\in A)(x S y)\) then there is a sequence \(a(0), a(1), a(2), \ldots\) of elements of \(A\) such that \((\forall n\in\omega)(a(n)\mathrel S a(n+1))\). See Tarski [1948], p 96, Levy [1964], p. 136.
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.
10:	\(C(\aleph_{0},< \aleph_{0})\): Every denumerable family of non-empty finite sets has a choice function.
216:	Every infinite tree has either an infinite chain or an infinite antichain.
