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'. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] ...

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 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 other ax...
