Biaxiosum

Etymology: From Latin bi (two) + axioma (axiom) + -sum (we are)

Definition: The practice of explicitly declaring one’s axioms before building arguments. Naming your ground before you argue.

The Founders’ Example

“We hold these truths to be self-evident.”

They didn’t say “proven” or “researched.” They said self-evident.

That’s Biaxiosum — declaring your starting assumptions openly.

The Template

Element	Declaration
Worldview	How I interpret data
Core Belief	What shapes my questions
Epistemology	What I count as knowledge
Priors	What I believed before
Off-Ramp	What would change my mind

The Paradox

Claimed objectivity with hidden assumptions is MORE DANGEROUS than admitted subjectivity with explicit axioms.
