Feb 12, 2022 at 14:41 comment added rimu @Gro-Tsen I actually thought in terms of well-ordering but decided to write in terms of choice... But in terms of a choice function, my "choice set" would be a set X for which every family $(X_i)_{i\in I}$ of subsets has a choice function.
Feb 12, 2022 at 14:09 comment added Gro-Tsen There are two “parameters” in a putative choice situation (when asking if $\prod_{i\in I} X_i$ is inhabited provided the $X_i$ are): the set $I$ of indices, and the set $X = \bigcup_{i\in I} X_i$ in which the values are taken. I think you're talking about $I$ here, but it might be worth clarifying, and maybe thinking about $X$ as well.

Feb 12, 2022 at 13:22 comment added rimu @MattF. The reason I am not that happy about the axiom of determinacy is that it is a statement about the set of all countable integer sequences and does not provide insight about all non-choice sets -- at least in the form in which it is stated. But maybe there is another formulation.
Feb 12, 2022 at 13:08 comment added user44143 The standard example is AD + DC, where AD refutes choice for the continuum, and DC gives choice for countable sets. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/…
