Ancient geometers maintained some distinction between axioms and postulates. Einstein based his theory of special relativity on two fundamental postulates. These properties are called postulates, or axioms in modern language. The invariance of light speed is one of the postulates of special relativity. Theosophical theory postulates that creation is a geometrical progression, beginning with a single point. This means that both choices are in accord with the two postulates of relativity. A set of conclusions is potentially undone once any of its fundamental postulates is disproved. Quantum mechanics has its roots in postulates. The lipid world theory postulates that the first self-replicating object was lipid-like. This is the Born rule, and is one of the fundamental postulates of quantum mechanics. Yet another theory postulates that the words "finn" and "kven" are cognates. Over and over again, the chapters of Mahabharata recite the key postulates of karma theory. An example of an arbitration operator satisfying all postulates is the classical disjunction. Rather, current thinking postulates definite hierarchies of relationships. Every constellation of a complex postulates a disturbed state of consciousness.
