To my knowledge an axiom is a rule that cannot be further broken down. Something you just have to accept as given, upon which you can build the rest of your theory.

For example: picking any number and adding 1 to it results in the next highest number. So basically 2 + 1 equals 3 because 3 is the next number after 2.
