An axiom, postulate, or assumption is a statement that is taken to be true, to serve as a premise or starting point for further reasoning and arguments. The word comes from the Ancient Greek word ἀξίωμα ( axíōma ), meaning 'that which is thought worthy or fit' or 'that which commends itself as evident'.
In 2013, Drummond joined Axiom Advocates, primarily working in public law. [4] In 2015, Drummond was appointed as Justice of Appeal in the Court of Appeal in the Territories of St Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha, having worked in the past on both Ascension Island and St Helena as crown counsel.

Axiom 2. The law of crossing: The value of a (boundary) crossing made again is not the value of the crossing. These axioms bare a resemblance to the "law of identity" and the "law of non-contradiction" respectively. However, the law of identity is proven as a theorem (Theorem 4.5 in "Laws of Form") within the framework of
Axiom Ince was founded in May this year when law firm Axiom DWFM bought corporate and commercial law firm Ince Group, as it was set to enter administration. Just two months later, Axiom Ince then ...
Euler's second axiom or law (law of balance of angular momentum or balance of torques) states that in an inertial frame the time rate of change of angular momentum L of an arbitrary portion of a continuous body is equal to the total applied torque M acting on that portion, and it is expressed as
If multiple models of natural law make exactly the same testable predictions, they are equivalent and there is no need for parsimony to choose a preferred one. For example, Newtonian, Hamiltonian and Lagrangian classical mechanics are equivalent. Physicists have no interest in using Occam's razor to say the other two are wrong.
Together with the axiom of choice (see below), these are the de facto standard axioms for contemporary mathematics or set theory. They can be easily adapted to analogous theories, such as mereology. Axiom of extensionality; Axiom of empty set; Axiom of pairing; Axiom of union; Axiom of infinity; Axiom schema of replacement; Axiom of power set ...
