We have the following indirect implication of form equivalence classes:

161 \(\Rightarrow\) 342-n
given by the following sequence of implications, with a reference to its direct proof:

Implication Reference
161 \(\Rightarrow\) 9 Defining cardinal addition by \(le\)-formulas, Haussler, A. 1983, Fund. Math.
9 \(\Rightarrow\) 342-n clear

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

Howard-Rubin Number Statement
161:

Definability of cardinal addition in terms of \(\le\): There is a first order formula whose only non-logical symbol is \( \le \) (for cardinals) that defines cardinal addition.

9:

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

342-n:

(For \(n\in\omega\), \(n\ge 2\).) \(PC(\infty,n,\infty)\):  Every infinite family of \(n\)-element sets has an infinite subfamily with a choice function. (See Form 166.)
