Romantic Interpretations of Euclid's Geometrical Axioms


 An axiom is in some sense thought to be strongly self-evident. Something which does not require a proof.



Here are Euclid's 5 axiom which have some romantic interpretations if you look closely, but let us first look at the axioms -

  •  First Axiom: Things which are equal to the same thing are also equal to one another.
  • Second Axiom: If equals are added to equals, the whole are equal.
  • Third Axiom: If equals be subtracted from equals, the remainders are equal.
  • Fourth Axiom: Things which coincide with one another are equal to one another.
  • Fifth Axiom: The whole is greater than the part.
