Arghh! My new revelation says that axioms are fine if
you are doing math. But some of us are doing something
here that is entirely separate: philosophy. I love math;
it is my hobby. But axioms and all that shit are not
pertinent to my quests! Good luck with yours! That
may be the reason I can't read any of your papers?

more about "defining" and "axioms" ARGH!

"Built"? "Emerge"? Bah, humbug.

As for circular, too bad your theories aren't circular! They'd
explain more.
