= Freiling's axiom of symmetry
{c}
{synonym}

Every function $f:\mathbb R\to[\mathbb R]^{<\omega_1}$ has reals $x,y$ with $x\notin f(y)$ and $y\notin f(x)$. The values are countable <subsets>. Requiring distinct witnesses is equivalent, by first adjoining $x$ to $f(x)$. The <Freiling theorem> identifies this axiom with the negation of the <Continuum hypothesis> in <ZFC>.
