We have the following indirect implication of form equivalence classes:

71-alpha \(\Rightarrow\) 17
given by the following sequence of implications, with a reference to its direct proof:

Implication Reference
71-alpha \(\Rightarrow\) 9 clear
9 \(\Rightarrow\) 17 The independence of Ramsey's theorem, Kleinberg, E.M. 1969, J. Symbolic Logic

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

Howard-Rubin Number Statement
71-alpha:  

\(W_{\aleph_{\alpha}}\): \((\forall x)(|x|\le\aleph_{\alpha }\) or \(|x|\ge \aleph_{\alpha})\). Jech [1973b], page 119.

9:

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

17:

Ramsey's Theorem I: If \(A\) is an infinite set and the family of all 2 element subsets of \(A\) is partitioned into 2 sets \(X\) and \(Y\), then there is an infinite subset \(B\subseteq A\) such that all 2 element subsets of \(B\) belong to \(X\) or all 2 element subsets of \(B\) belong to \(Y\). (Also, see Form 325.), Jech [1973b], p 164 prob 11.20.
