5th axiom : THE WHOLE IS ALWAYS GREATER THAN ITS PART
It's the UNIVERSAL TRUTH because it was proved in all cases
The main thing required to prove is when a bigger number is subtracted from a smaller number . The result is always LESSER THAN 0
Now
We shall try to prove it by taking a whole of 3 and a part 1/3
When subtracting 1/3 from 3
3-1/3
=8/3
therefore it is GREATER THAN 0
HENCE PROVED
