    On belief, http://virus.lucifer.com/wiki/belief

    For a basic set of Axioms, the Epistemological Axioms are a very sound place to begin:

                Existence
                Consciousness
                Reality
                Identity
                Non-contradiction
                Causality

    You will find more on the topic at FAQ: Epistemology, Axioms, Reality, Consciousness, the Universe and Everything (http://virus.lucifer.com/bbs/index.php?board=31;action=display;threadid=11543).

    Please notice that while it is quite likely that these axioms are, all of them, as unprovable as they are fundamental, they do suffice to describe our consesus model of the world sufficiently well for us to operate, and removing any one of them appears to cause visible gaps in our network of scientific and philosophical models.

    Regards

    Hermit
