Basic Definition and Requirements An axiom P is independent if there are no other axioms Q such that Q implies P. In many cases independence is desired, either to reach the logical consequence conclusion of a reduced set of axioms, or to be able to replace an independent axiom to create a more concise system for example, the parallel postulate is independent of Euclid s Axioms, and can provide interesting results when a negated or manipulated form of the postulate is put into its place . Proving Independence If the original axioms Q are not consistent , then no new axiom is independent. If they are consistent, then P can be shown independent of them if adding P to them, or adding the negation of P, both yield consistent sets of axioms. ref Kenneth Kunen, Set Theory An Introduction to Independence Proofs , page xi. ref For example, Euclid s Axioms, with the parallel postulate included, yields Euclidean geometry, and with the parallel postulate negated, yields non Euclidean spherical or hyperbolic geometry. Both of these are consistent systems, showing that the parallel postulate is independent of the other axioms of geometry. ref Harold Scott Macdonald Coxeter, Non Euclidean Geometry , pages 1 15. ref Proving independence is often very difficult.

In mathematical logic , an axiom schema plural axiom schemata generalizes the notion of axiom . An axiom schema is a well formed formula formula in the language of an axiomatic system , in which one or more schematic variable s appear. These variables, which are metalinguistic constructs, stand for any First order logic Formation rules term or first order logic subformula of the system, which may or may not be required to satisfy certain conditions. Often, such conditions require that certain variables be free variable free , or that certain variables not appear in the subformula or term. Given that the number of possible subformulas or terms that can be inserted in place of a schematic variable is countably infinite , an axiom schema stands for a countably infinite set of axioms. This set can usually be defined Recursion recursively . A theory that can be axiomatized without schemata is said to be finitely axiomatized . Theories that can be finitely axiomatized are seen as a bit more metamathematically elegant, even if they are less practical for deductive work. Two very well known instances of axiom schemata are the Mathematical induction Induction schema that is part of Peano s axioms for the arithmetic of the natural number s Axiom schema of replacement that is part of the standard ZFC axiomatization of set theory . It has been proved first by Richard Montague that these schemata cannot be eliminated. Hence Peano arithmetic and ZFC cannot be finitely axiomatized. This is also the case for quite a few other axiomatic theories in mathematics, philosophy, linguistics, etc. All theorems of ZFC are also theorems of von Neumann Bernays G del set theory , but the latter is, quite surprisingly, finitely axiomatized. The set theory New Foundations can be finitely axiomatized, but only with some loss of elegance. Schematic variables in first order logic are usually trivially eliminable in second order logic , because a schematic variable is often a placeholder for any property ... more details

For a detailed discussion of the properties of S5 , consult any standard introductory text in modal logic, e.g. Chellas 1980 or Hughes & Creswell 1996 . Note also that there exists a number of alternative axiomatizations of S5 which do not employ the axiom 5 of course, 5 remains a theorem of S5 independently of a given axiomatization .

The Axiom of Causality is the proposition that everything in the universe has a cause and is thus an effect of that cause. This means that if a given event occurs, then this is the result of a previous, related event. If an object is in a certain state, then it is in that state as a result of another object interacting with it previously. For example, if a baseball is moving through the air, it must be moving this way because of a previous interaction with another object, such as being hit by a baseball bat. An epistemological axiom is a self evident truth. Thus the Axiom of Causality implicitly claims to be a universal rule that is so obvious that it does not need to be proved to be accepted. Even among epistemologists, the existence of such a rule is controversial. See the full article on Epistemology . Spontaneity One implication of the Axiom is that if a phenomenon appears to occur without any observable external cause, there must be an internal force or mechanism causing the phenomenon. Quantum mechanics appears to violate the Axiom because elementary particles exhibit behavior without any observable external cause, and no internal mechanisms have yet been observed within them. Variation Another implication of the Axiom is that all variation in the universe is a result of the logical and continual application of the physical laws . Specifically, all effects in the universe are the logical result of the transfer of energy from one form to another, from one place to another, and the outcome is dictated by the rules of the universe. The baseball flies through the air because the bat imparted kinetic energy to the ball. An object cannot accelerate without being imparted energy from another object, but if so then according to the laws of thermodynamics , it must be consuming its own stored energy through an internal mechanism. Magnets may appear to violate this because they seem to cause acceleration without depleting an energy reservoir. Magnets store energy in the form ... more details

orphan date November 2007 The Axiom of Categoricity is a tenet of Linguistics linguistic theory that remained practically undisputed before the inception of modern sociolinguistics in the mid twentieth century. The term was coined by J.K. Chambers in 1995 and refers to the once popular belief that in order to properly study language, linguistic data should be removed or Abstraction mathematics abstracted from all real world context so as to be free of any inconsistencies or variability. History Ferdinand de Saussure divided language into two categories, langue and parole langue the abstract grammatical system a language uses and parole language as it is used in real life circumstances . Historically, the range of language study had been limited to langue , since the data could easily be found in the linguist s own intuitions about language and there was no need to look at the often inconsistent and chaotic language patterns found in everyday society . In the 20th century, scholars began to further embrace the assumption that linguistic data should be removed from its social, real life context. Martin Joos stated the axiom this way in 1950 blockquote We must make our linguistics a kind of mathematics within which inconsistency is by definition impossible. Joos 1950 701 2 blockquote In 1965, Noam Chomsky offered a more substantial definition, incorporating his concepts of linguistic competence and linguistic performance , terms that closely parallel Saussure s langue and parole ... and analyzing it, he proved that the inconsistencies were indeed manageable, resisting the Axiom ... and manageable.

In mathematics , the gluing axiom is introduced to define what a sheaf mathematics sheaf F on a topological space X must satisfy, given that it is a presheaf , which is by definition a contravariant functor F O X &rarr C to a category C which initially one takes to be the category of sets . Here O X is the partial order of open set s of X ordered by inclusion map s and considered as a category in the standard way, with a unique morphism U &rarr V if U is a subset of V , and none otherwise. As phrased in the Sheaf mathematics sheaf article, there is a certain axiom that F must satisfy, for any open cover of an open set of X . For example given open sets U and V with union set theory union X and intersection set theory intersection W , the required condition is that F X is the subset of F U × F V with equal image in F W . In less formal language, a Section category theory section s of F over X is equally well given by a pair of sections s &prime , s &prime &prime on U and V respectively, which agree in the sense that s &prime and s &prime &prime have a common image in F W under the respective restriction maps F U &rarr F W and F V &rarr F W .

For the axiom of set theory Axiom schema of separation File Separation axioms illustrated.png thumb alt Illustrations of the properties of Hausdorffness, regularity and normality An illustration of some of the separation axioms. A blue region indicates an open set, a red rectangle a closed set, and a black dot a point. In topology and related fields of mathematics , there are several restrictions that one often makes on the kinds of topological space s that one wishes to consider. Some of these restrictions are given by the separation axioms . These are sometimes called Tychonoff separation axioms , after Andrey Tychonoff . The separation axioms are axiom s only in the sense that, when defining the notion of topological space , one could add these conditions as extra axioms to get a more restricted notion of what a topological space is. The modern approach is to fix once and for all the axiomatization of topological space and then speak of kinds of topological spaces. However, the term separation axiom has stuck. The separation axioms are denoted with the letter T after the German language German Trennungsaxiom , which means separation axiom. The precise meanings of the terms associated with the separation axioms has varied over time, as explained in History of the separation axioms . Especially when reading older literature, be sure to get the authors definition of each condition mentioned to make sure that you know exactly what they mean. Preliminary definitions Before we define the separation axioms themselves, we give concrete meaning to the concept of separated sets and points in topological space s.

This axiom can then replace replacement, global choice, specification and union in von Neumann Bernays G del or Morse Kelley set theory . It can be shown that a class is a proper class if and only if it is equinumerous to V , but von Neumann s axiom does not capture all of the limitation of size doctrine , ref ... p 32. ref because the axiom of power set is not a consequence of it.

In Class set theory class theories , the axiom of global choice is a stronger variant of the axiom of choice which applies to proper classes as well as sets. Statement The axiom can be expressed in various ways which are equivalent Weak form Every class of nonempty sets has a choice function . Strong form Every collection of nonempty classes has a choice function. Restrict the possible choices in each class to the subclass of sets of minimal rank in the class. This subclass is a set. The collection of such sets is a class. V &empty has a choice function where V is the class of all sets see Von Neumann universe . There is a well ordering of V . There is a bijection between V and the class of all ordinal number s. Discussion In Zermelo Fraenkel set theory ZFC , the axiom of global choice cannot be stated as such because it involves existential quantification on classes so it is not a statement of the language of ZFC nor even an infinite number of statements like axiom schemes requiring universal quantification on classes . It can, however, be stated for a given explicit class, e.g., one can state the fact that such or such an explicit class function is a choice function for V &empty or that such or such a class relation is a well ordering of V in this form i.e., for some explicit class function that is tedious but possible to write down , the axiom of global choice follows from the axiom of constructibility . In Von Neumann Bernays G del set theory G del Bernays , global choice does not add any consequence about sets beyond what could have been deduced from the ordinary axiom of choice. Global choice is a consequence of the axiom of limitation of size .
