The axiom o f choice. Suppose {Si}, i E I, is a family of nonemptysets. Then there is a function / from I into U / Si such that f(i) E Sifor each i e I.
For any collection of non-empty sets, one can create a set by choosing one element from each set in the given collection.
There are a variety of other equivalent ways to state this as well as names. One variation is Zorn's lemma.
