> I have come across the principle while writing up the construction of a topos with countable reals. In that topos, Markov principle seems to fail, but the above principle holds.
Addendum: the above claim about the topos must be false, as Yannick Forster kindly pointed out to me privately that MVMP obviously implies MP.
What I wanted to say, I suppose, was that I needed MVMP because I did not have countable choice and therefore could not extract a function from a statement of the form ∀ n ∈ ℕ . ∃ b ∈ {0,1} . ρ(n, b). (Such a function would be needed for an application of MP, but with MVMP I can work with ρ directly.)
With kind regards,
