If \((X,\cal T) \) is a first countable topological space and \((\cal B(x))_{x\in X}\) is a family such that for all \(x \in X\), \(\cal B(x)\) is a local base at \(x\), then there is a family \(( \cal V(x))_{x\in X}\) such that for every \(x \in X\), \(\cal V(x)\) is a countable local base at \(x\) and \(\cal V(x) \subseteq \cal B(x)\).

\(C(\aleph_{0},\infty)\):

Finite \(\Leftrightarrow\) Dedekind finite: \(W_{\aleph_{0}}\) Jech [1973b]: \(E(I,IV)\) Howard/Yorke [1989]): Every Dedekind finite set is finite.

\(E(I,III)\) (Howard/Yorke [1989]): If \(X\) is infinite then \(\cal P(X)\) is Dedekind infinite. (\(X\) is finite \(\Leftrightarrow {\cal P}(X)\) is Dedekind finite.)

DPO:  Every infinite set has a non-trivial, dense partial order.  (A partial ordering \(<\) on a set \(X\) is dense if \((\forall x, y\in X)(x \lt y \to (\exists z \in X)(x \lt z \lt y))\) and is non-trivial if \((\exists x,y\in X)(x \lt y)\)).
