Statement
Definition	df-card 7301*	Define the cardinal number function. The cardinal number of a set is the least ordinal number equinumerous to it. In other words, it is the "size" of the set. Definition of [Enderton] p. 197. Our notation is from Enderton. Other textbooks often use a double bar over the set to express this function. (Contributed by NM, 21-Oct-2003.)
|- card = ( x e. _V |-> |^| { y e. On | y ~~ x } )
Definition	df-acnm 7302*	Define a local and length-limited version of the axiom of choice. The definition of the predicate X e. AC A is that for all families of inhabited subsets of X indexed on A (i.e. functions A --> { z e. ~P X | E. j j e. z }), there is a function which selects an element from each set in the family. (Contributed by Mario Carneiro, 31-Aug-2015.) Change nonempty to inhabited. (Revised by Jim Kingdon, 22-Nov-2025.)

2.6.42  Axiom of Choice equivalents
Syntax	wac 7333	Formula for an abbreviation of the axiom of choice.
wff CHOICE
Definition	df-ac 7334*	The expression CHOICE will be used as a readable shorthand for any form of the axiom of choice; all concrete forms are long, cryptic, have dummy variables, or all three, making it useful to have a short name. Similar to the Axiom of Choice (first form) of [Enderton] p. 49. There are some decisions about how to write this definition especially around whether ax-setind 4593 is needed to show equivalence to other ways of stating choice, and about whether choice functions are available for nonempty sets or inhabited sets.

Theorem	onntri35 7368*	Double negated ordinal trichotomy. There are five equivalent statements: (1) -. -. A. x e. On A. y e. On ( x e. y \/ x = y \/ y e. x ), (2) -. -. A. x e. On A. y e.

That these are all equivalent is expressed by (1) implies (3) (onntri13 7369), (3) implies (5) (onntri35 7368), (5) implies (1) (onntri51 7371), (2) implies (4) (onntri24 7373), (4) implies (5) (onntri45 7372), and (5) implies (2) (onntri52 7375).

PART 3  CHOICE PRINCIPLES We have already introduced the full Axiom of Choice df-ac 7334 but since it implies excluded middle as shown at exmidac 7337, it is not especially relevant to us. In this section we define countable choice and dependent choice, which are not as strong as thus often considered in mathematics which seeks to avoid full excluded middle.
3.1  Countable Choice and Dependent Choice
3.1.1  Introduce Countable Choice
Syntax	wacc 7394	Formula for an abbreviation of countable choice.
wff CCHOICE
Definition	df-cc 7395*	The expression CCHOICE will be used as a readable shorthand for any form of countable choice, analogous to df-ac 7334 for full choice. (Contributed by Jim Kingdon, 27-Nov-2023.)
