A prime model admits an elementary embedding into every model of its complete theory. In the countable setting a prime model is atomic. If a tuple in the prime model had a nonisolated complete type, the omitting types theorem would give a model omitting that type; an elementary embedding of the prime model into it would realize the omitted type, a contradiction.
Combining the four parts, all positive implications are exactly those generated byThe structure refutes (ii)(i). The structure is a countable atomic and hence prime model of its complete theory, while failing both (i) and (ii); it refutes every remaining reverse arrow, including (iv)(i) and (iv)(ii). The counterexamples therefore cover all ordered pairs of distinct properties not forced by the boxed chain.
