Axiom Of Choice

We have the following indirect implication of form equivalence classes:

334 \(\Rightarrow\) 64 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).
126:	\(MC(\aleph_0,\infty)\), Countable axiom of multiple choice: For every denumerable set \(X\) of non-empty sets there is a function \(f\) such that for all \(y\in X\), \(f(y)\) is a non-empty finite subset of \(y\).
82:	\(E(I,III)\) (Howard/Yorke [1989]): If \(X\) is infinite then \(\cal P(X)\) is Dedekind infinite. (\(X\) is finite \(\Leftrightarrow {\cal P}(X)\) is Dedekind finite.)
83:	\(E(I,II)\) Howard/Yorke [1989]: \(T\)-finite is equivalent to finite.
64:	\(E(I,Ia)\) There are no amorphous sets. (Equivalently, every infinite set is the union of two disjoint infinite sets.)
