is equivalent to the statement that every set can be well-ordered, i.e. that every cardinal has an initial ordinal. In this case, it is traditional to identify the cardinal number with its initial ordinal, and we say that the initial ordinal

This is readily found to coincide with the ordering via ≀ 320:

Indeed, one can go far beyond this.
