> **Visual Context:** The image shows page 36 of a paper containing Section 7.2 ("An explicit family without a choice function") and Lemma 7.4, which states: "In ZF, if a set A is not wellorderable, then P(A)\{∅} has no choice function." The proof proceeds by contradiction, using transfinite recursion on the Hartogs ordinal of A to construct an injection into A, thereby well-ordering it.  

> 
> "“Lemma 7.4, again, is not something you'd expect to see in a paper like this” ok Asaf’s warning did not prepare me for how trivial this was.

It’s the converse of “if P(A)\{{}} has a choice function, then A is well-orderable”"
