COMMENTS
The initial interval of a nonnegative integer x is the set {1,...,x}.
A prime index of n is a number m such that prime(m) divides n. The multiset of prime indices of n is row n of A112798.
The axiom of choice says that, given any sequence of nonempty sets, it is possible to choose a sequence containing an element from each. In the strict version, the elements of this sequence must be distinct, meaning none is chosen more than once.
EXAMPLE
The prime indices of 75 are (2,3,3), with initial intervals ({1,2},{1,2,3},{1,2,3}), with choices (1,2,3), (1,3,2), (2,1,3), (2,3,1), so a(75) = 4.

CROSSREFS
Allowing repeated partitions gives A003963.
For constant instead of distinct we have A055396.
Twice partitions of this type are counted by A296122.
For integer partitions we have A387110.
Positions of nonzero terms are A387112 (choosable).
Positions of 0 are A387113 (non-choosable).
A061395 gives greatest prime index.
A120383 lists numbers divisible by all of their prime indices.
A289509 lists numbers with relatively prime prime indices.
A324850 lists numbers divisible by the product of their prime indices.
