Hausdorff maximality theorem, HM.
Every (partially) ordered set contains a maximal chain.

HM is equivalent to Zorn's lemma, AxC, etc.
A quick result of Zorn's lemma is
every (partially) ordered set contains a maximal antichain.

Does this maximal antichain principle imply Zorn's lemma, AxC, etc.
If so which would be the easier to prove from maximal antichain?

If R is a partial order and S is the reverse of R, defined by
xSy if and only if yRx, then S is also a partial order.


But reversed chains are still chains, not antichains.

Yeah, I realized what I'd screwed up in the interval
between seeing you'd replied and seeing the reply...

Never mind.
