We have the following indirect implication of form equivalence classes:

334 \(\Rightarrow\) 306
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
334:

\(MC(\infty,\infty,\hbox{ even})\): For every set \(X\) of  sets such that for all \(x\in X\), \(|x|\ge 2\), 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 even.

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.

91:

\(PW\):  The power set of a well ordered set can be well ordered.

305:

There are \(2^{\aleph_0}\) Vitali equivalence classes. (Vitali equivalence classes are equivalence classes of the real numbers under the relation \(x\equiv y\leftrightarrow(\exists q\in{\Bbb Q})(x-y=q)\).). \ac{Kanovei} \cite{1991}.

306:

The set of Vitali equivalence classes is linearly orderable. (Vitali equivalence classes are equivalence classes of the real numbers under the relation \(x\equiv y\leftrightarrow (\exists q\in{\Bbb Q})(x-y = q)\).).
