We have the following indirect implication of form equivalence classes:
			
| Implication | Reference | 
|---|---|
| 232 \(\Rightarrow\) 173 | Paracompactness of metric spaces and the axiom of choice, Howard,  P. 2000a, Math. Logic Quart. | 
Here are the links and statements of the form equivalence classes referenced above:
| Howard-Rubin Number | Statement | 
|---|---|
| 232: | Every metric space \((X,d)\) has a \(\sigma\)-point finite base. | 
| 173: | \(MPL\): Metric spaces are para-Lindelöf. |
