Korzybski pointed out the circularity of many dictionary definitions, and suggested adoption of the mathematical practice of acknowledging some minimal ensemble of primitive notions as necessarily'undefined'; he chose'structure','order', and'relation '.

"The folkways are habits of the individual and customs of the society which arise from efforts to satisfy needs; they are intertwined with goblinism and demonism and primitive notions of luck ( sec . 6 ), and so they win traditional authority.

In this circumstance it is possible that a " description " or " mental image " of a primitive notion is provided to give a foundation to build the notion on which would formally be based on the ( unstated ) axioms.

In 1929 he showed that much of Euclidean solid geometry could be recast as a first-order theory whose individuals are " spheres " ( a primitive notion ), a single primitive binary relation " is contained in ", and two axioms that, among other things, imply that containment partially orders the spheres.

According to Leibniz, " The alphabet of human thought is a catalogue of primitive notions, or those we cannot render clearer by any definitions . " Maat explains, " a thing which is known without other intermediate notions can be considered to be primitive, " and further, " a primitive notion is said to be conceived through itself ".

A typical example of this type of notation can be found in the work of E . V . Huntington ( 1874 & ndash; 1952 ) who, in 1913, produced an axiomatic treatment of three-dimensional Euclidean geometry based upon the primitive notions of " sphere " and " inclusion " ( one sphere lying within another ).

Also, in this example, for this not to fall into vagueness and a never-ending series of " primitive notions ", either a precise notion of what we mean by x = x \, ( or, for that matter, " to be equal " ) has to be well established first, or a purely formal and syntactical usage of the symbol = \, has to be enforced, only regarding it as a string and only a string of symbols, and mathematical logic does indeed do that.

As for the notion that " the title is a POV-fork ", that's wrong because the contemporary, pre-scientific " abuse " tale, as interpretative and prescriptive as it is, can be easily incorporated under a heading of " adult-child sex " that is entirely " descriptive " and therefore neutral in contrast . "'Relata "'only repeats the primitive notion I've pointed to before, " " If this is what my local judge, Fox News, and this one self-help guide against depression are calling it, so will I ! ""
