Perception, norm and axiom distinction
The same experience on three separate planes. The perception of unity: in Physis, only at the moment of the spike, temporary and untestable. The norm of equality: in Nomos, consciously constructed, lasting and institutional, testable through practice. The axiom of equality: the metaphysicalization of the norm — the claim that “the root of all problems is inequality.”
— Physis: A Theory of Power — Concept Glossary
The definition is from the Concept Glossary of Physis: A Theory of Power; the book will be published on Zenodo in October 2026. The English wording is provisional until the official English glossary is published.
