F9917
Formulation 1
Let $P = (X, {\preceq})$ be a D1103: Partially ordered set such that
(i) $\mathsf{Chains}(P)$ is the D4636: Set of chains in $P$
(iii) $\max(P)$ is the D4464: Set of maximal elements in $P$
(iii) \begin{equation} \forall \, C \in \mathsf{Chains}(P) : \exists \, M \in X : \forall \, x \in C : x \preceq M \end{equation}
Then \begin{equation} |\max(P)| \geq 1 \end{equation}
