2.6.42  Axiom of Choice equivalents
Syntax	wac 7420	Formula for an abbreviation of the axiom of choice.
wff CHOICE
Definition	df-ac 7421*	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 4635 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	acfun 7422*	A convenient form of choice. The goal here is to state choice as the existence of a choice function on a set of inhabited sets, while making full use of our notation around functions and function values. (Contributed by Jim Kingdon, 20-Nov-2023.)

Theorem	onntri35 7455*	Double negated ordinal trichotomy. There are five equivalent statements: (1) ¬ ¬ ∀𝑥 ∈ On∀𝑦 ∈ On(𝑥 ∈ 𝑦 ∨ 𝑥 = 𝑦 ∨ 𝑦 ∈ 𝑥), (2) ¬ ¬ ∀𝑥 ∈ On∀𝑦 ∈ On(𝑥 ⊆ 𝑦 ∨ 𝑦 ⊆ 𝑥), (3) ∀𝑥 ∈ On∀𝑦 ∈ On¬ ¬ (𝑥 ∈ 𝑦 ∨ 𝑥 = 𝑦 ∨ 𝑦 ∈ 𝑥), (4) ∀𝑥 ∈ On∀𝑦 ∈ On¬ ¬ (𝑥 ⊆ 𝑦 ∨ 𝑦 ⊆ 𝑥), and (5) ¬ ¬ EXMID. That these are all equivalent is expressed by (1) implies (3) (onntri13 7456), (3) implies (5) (onntri35 7455), (5) implies (1) (onntri51 7458), (2) implies (4) (onntri24 7460), (4) implies (5) (onntri45 7459), and (5) implies (2) (onntri52 7462). Another way of stating this is that EXMID is equivalent to trichotomy, either the 𝑥 ∈ 𝑦 ∨ 𝑥 = 𝑦 ∨ 𝑦 ∈ 𝑥 or the 𝑥 ⊆ 𝑦 ∨ 𝑦 ⊆ 𝑥 form, as shown in exmidontri 7457 and exmidontri2or 7461, respectively.

Theorem	fmelpw1o 7465	With a formula 𝜑 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 ⊤ and ⊥, by nndc 858, which translate to 1o and ∅ respectively by iftrue 3610 and iffalse 3613, giving pwtrufal 16619). As proved in if0ab 16422, the associated element of 𝒫 1o is the extension, in 𝒫 1o, of the formula 𝜑. (Contributed by BJ, 15-Aug-2024.)

PART 3  CHOICE PRINCIPLES We have already introduced the full Axiom of Choice df-ac 7421 but since it implies excluded middle as shown at exmidac 7424, 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.

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 6642 and similar theorems ), going from there to positive integers (df-ni 7524) and then positive rational numbers (df-nqqs 7568) 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 7686. The Cauchy reals (without countable choice) fail to satisfy ax-caucvg 8152 and the MacNeille reals fail to satisfy axltwlin 8247, 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].
