4: Draygon’s Third Postulate

The Macedonian mathematician, Draygon, conjectured that the members of a set have a dialethic existence. That is, they exist in the set, as a component of the totality; and they exist for the set, as a distinct entity. Thorbus elevated it to the status of axiom some one hundred years later with his work on infinite triangles. However, it is still popularly referred to as Draygon’s Third Postulate.

It has no practical application.

Draygon’s first and second postulates were conclusively rubbished by his daughter-in-law, Percivella Draygon, after a disagreement over the flogging of an elderly servant.
