We have the following indirect implication of form equivalence classes:

256 \(\Rightarrow\) 196-alpha
given by the following sequence of implications, with a reference to its direct proof:

Implication Reference
256 \(\Rightarrow\) 255 Variations of Zorn's lemma, principles of cofinality, and Hausdorff's maximal principle, Part I and II, Harper, J. 1976, Notre Dame J. Formal Logic
255 \(\Rightarrow\) 260 Variations of Zorn's lemma, principles of cofinality, and Hausdorff's maximal principle, Part I and II, Harper, J. 1976, Notre Dame J. Formal Logic
260 \(\Rightarrow\) 40 Variations of Zorn's lemma, principles of cofinality, and Hausdorff's maximal principle, Part I and II, Harper, J. 1976, Notre Dame J. Formal Logic
40 \(\Rightarrow\) 86-alpha clear
86-alpha \(\Rightarrow\) 196-alpha Successive large cardinals, Bull Jr., E. L. 1978, Ann. Math. Logic

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

Howard-Rubin Number Statement
256:

\(Z(P,F)\): Every partially ordered set \((X,R)\) in which every forest \(A\) has an upper bound, has a maximal element.

255:

\(Z(D,R)\): Every directed relation \((P,R)\) in which every ramified subset \(A\) has an upper bound, has a maximal element.

260:

\(Z(TR\&C,P)\): If \((X,R)\) is a transitive and connected relation in which every partially ordered subset has an upper bound, then \((X,R)\) has a maximal element.

40:

\(C(WO,\infty)\):  Every well orderable set of non-empty sets has a choice function. Moore, G. [1982], p 325.

86-alpha:

\(C(\aleph_{\alpha},\infty)\): If \(X\) is a set of non-empty sets such that \(|X| = \aleph_{\alpha }\), then \(X\) has a choice function.

196-alpha:

\(\aleph_{\alpha}\) and \(\aleph_{\alpha+1}\) are not both measurable.
