Every idea must earn its place.
Six Axioms is a science, philosophy and math series about the six methods every honest idea must pass: Sufficient Reason, Parsimony, the Hierarchy of Needs, Dialectics, the Mathematical Method, and the Scientific Method.
The essays on this page are the written form of the series — each one follows a single idea from first intuition to formal proof, with the mathematics shown and the reasoning done in the open. Nothing here asks you to trust the author; every claim is laid out so you can check it yourself.
Watch the videos on YouTube, read the essays here — the two are companions, not copies.
