contents Given sets $X,Y$ and a regular cardinal $μ$, let $Φ(X,Y,μ)$ be the statement that for any function $f : X \times Y \to μ$, there are functions $g_1 : X \to μ$ and $g_2 : Y \to μ$ such that or all $(x,y) \in X \times Y$, $$f(x,y) \le \max \{ g_1(x), g_2(y) \}.$$ In ZFC, the statement $Φ(ω_1, ω_1, ω)$ is false. However, we show the theory ZF + ``the club filter on $ω_1$ is normal'' + $Φ(ω_1, ω_1, ω)$ (which is implied by ZF + AD) implies that for every $α< ω_1$ there is a $κ\in (α,ω_1)$ such that in some inner model, $κ$ is measurable with Mitchell order $\ge α$. There was an error in Welch's paper ``Characterizing Subsets of $ω_1$ Constructible From a Real'', which he has retracted in a personal communication. Our paper originally referenced that paper. In this version of our paper, we are not using that result. Our consistency strength upper bound has changed accordingly.
