First Principles Defined

  1. First principles are true
  2. First principles are necessarily true
  3. First principles are indemonstrable – they are not and cannot be deduced from anything else since otherwise the premises from which they are derived would be prior and not the First Principles themselves.
  4. First principles are more certain than anything derived from them – anything derived (deduced) from them can contain errors but first principles are free from any possible error as necessary truths.
