Mathematically speaking, what is an ‘Axiom’?
In: 621
It’s an assumption you make. You can’t prove it, but math doesn’t work without it
Like, there’s no reason why 2 is bigger than 1 (i think). Sure, in reality 2 cherries are more than one cherry, but math isn’t based in reality. And there’s no mathematical reason for 2 to be bigger than 1. But we have to define the relationship between 1 and 2 *somehow*, otherwise nothing else works
