> [@Ichthus77](#):
>
> The first impossibility is being alone.  
> Being alone cannot move or have a reason (why) to be.  
> Axiom of Being: The law of identity provides a stable “what it is”/correspondence.
> 
> The second impossibility is acting alone.  
> Action alone has no substance or reason (why) to move.  
> Axiom of Action: The law of excluded middle selects determinatively.
> 
> The third impossibility is meaning alone.  
> Reason (why) alone has no substance or action to sustain.  
> Axiom of Quality: The law of non-contradiction prevents self-contradiction into impossibility/incoherence.
> 
> Triadic first principle:  
> Being is substance with Action that moves with sustaining Reason (why).

Who knew? How? Why?

> [@The Three Questions](https://www.ilovephilosophy.com/t/the-three-questions/85311/35):
>
> Cheat sheet from Plato’s Theaetetus’ three axioms rephrased:
> 
> 1. Nothing has **BEING** unless it subsumes its Act of self-demonstration of Quality.
> 2. Nothing can **ACT** to self-demonstrate Quality unless Being subsumes change.
> 3. Nothing has **QUALITY** unless Being self-demonstrates (Acts) by subsuming change.
