Theorem	infpwfidom 7501	The collection of finite subsets of a set dominates the set. (We use the weaker sethood assumption ( ~P A i^i Fin ) e. _V because this theorem also implies that A is a set if ~P A i^i Fin is.) (Contributed by Mario Carneiro, 17-May-2015.)

2.6.45  Axiom of Choice equivalents
Syntax	wac 7512	Formula for an abbreviation of the axiom of choice.
wff CHOICE
Definition	df-ac 7513*	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 4659 is needed to show equivalence to other ways of stating choice, and about whether choice functions are available for nonempty sets or inhabited sets. (Contributed by Mario Carneiro, 22-Feb-2015.)

Theorem	onntri35 7547*	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. On ( x C_ y \/ y C_ x ), (3) A. x e. On A. y e. On -. -. ( x e. y \/ x = y \/ y e. x ), (4) A. x e. On A. y e. On -. -. ( x C_ y \/ y C_ x ), and (5) -. -. EXMID. That these are all equivalent is expressed by (1) implies (3) (onntri13 7548), (3) implies (5) (onntri35 7547), (5) implies (1) (onntri51 7550), (2) implies (4) (onntri24 7552), (4) implies (5) (onntri45 7551), and (5) implies (2) (onntri52 7554). Another way of stating this is that EXMID is equivalent to trichotomy, either the x e. y \/ x = y \/ y e. x or the x C_ y \/ y C_ x form, as shown in exmidontri 7549 and exmidontri2or 7553, respectively. Thus -. -. EXMID is equivalent to (1) or (2). In addition, -. -. EXMID is equivalent to (3) by onntri3or 7555 and (4) by onntri2or 7556. (Contributed by James E. Hanson and Jim Kingdon, 2-Aug-2024.)

Theorem	fmelpw1o 7557	With a formula ph one can associate an element of ~P 1o, which can therefore be thought of as the set of "truth values" (but recall that there are no other genuine truth values than T. and F., by nndc 859, which translate to 1o and (/) respectively by iftrue 3627 and iffalse 3630, giving pwtrufal 16771). As proved in if0ab 3623, the associated element of ~P 1o is the extension, in ~P 1o, of the formula ph. (Contributed by BJ, 15-Aug-2024.) (Proof shortened by BJ, 5-May-2026.)

PART 3  CHOICE PRINCIPLES We have already introduced the full Axiom of Choice df-ac 7513 but since it implies excluded middle as shown at exmidac 7516, it is not especially relevant to us.

PART 4  REAL AND COMPLEX NUMBERS This section derives the basics of real and complex numbers. To construct the real numbers constructively, we follow two main sources. The first is Metamath Proof Explorer, which has the advantage of being already formalized in metamath. Its disadvantage, for our purposes, is that it assumes the law of the excluded middle throughout. Since we have already developed natural numbers ( for example, nna0 6707 and similar theorems ), going from there to positive integers (df-ni 7619) and then positive rational numbers (df-nqqs 7663) does not involve a major change in approach compared with the Metamath Proof Explorer. It is when we proceed to Dedekind cuts that we bring in more material from Section 11.2 of [HoTT], which focuses on the aspects of Dedekind cuts which are different without excluded middle or choice principles. With excluded middle, it is natural to define a cut as the lower set only (as Metamath Proof Explorer does), but here we define the cut as a pair of both the lower and upper sets, as [HoTT] does. There are also differences in how we handle order and replacing "not equal to zero" with "apart from zero". When working constructively, there are several possible definitions of real numbers. Here we adopt the most common definition, as two-sided Dedekind cuts with the properties described at df-inp 7781. The Cauchy reals (without countable choice) fail to satisfy ax-caucvg 8247 and the MacNeille reals fail to satisfy axltwlin 8341, and we do not develop them here. For more on differing definitions of the reals, see the introduction to Chapter 11 in [HoTT] or Section 1.2 of [BauerHanson].
