We have the following indirect implication of form equivalence classes:

7 \(\Rightarrow\) 9
given by the following sequence of implications, with a reference to its direct proof:

Implication Reference
7 \(\Rightarrow\) 9 On the existence of large sets of Dedekind cardinals, Tarski, A. 1965, Notices Amer. Math. Soc.
The Axiom of Choice, Jech, 1973b, page 161 problem 11.6

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

Howard-Rubin Number Statement
7:

There is no infinite decreasing sequence of cardinals.

9:

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