Those would be strangely wrong axioms though and probably not what OP had in mind. Just because a theory with axiom 1==0 contains numbers doesn't mean it's math

Those would be strangely wrong axioms though and probably not what OP had in mind. Just because a theory with axiom 1==0 contains numbers doesn't mean it's math, at least if it is not consistent. But maybe you are right, math isn't the epitome of human knowledge. It is the art of learning that knowledge. Still, in some way, individual knowledge constitutes the extent of anyone's own universe.
