axiomatic; that it involves time and process?
This (ENTITY IDENTITY) is the base of all knowledge. The base of knowledge is NOT “axioms one has to accept”, not subject to proof or disproof. Per Rand, an axiom is “a statement that identifies the base of knowledge and of any further statement pertaining to that knowledge, a statement necessarily contained in all others, whether any particular speaker chooses to identify it or not. An axiom is a proposition that defeats its opponents by the fact that they have to accept it and use it in the process of any attempt to deny it.” (Rand) The only problem with this postulate is that it is exactly the other way round. It does not defeat its opponents. Instead it defeats itself on at least two levels.
