In consumer theory, the axioms of completeness assert that consumers can rank any two bundles of goods according to their preferences. This means for any two bundles A and B, a consumer can determine whether they prefer A to B, B to A, or if they find them equally preferable. This axiom ensures that preferences are well-defined and allows for consistent decision-making, which is fundamental for analyzing consumer choices and utility maximization.
Axiomatic structure refers to a set of axioms or fundamental principles that form the foundation of a mathematical theory or system. These axioms serve as the starting point for deriving theorems and proofs within that specific framework, ensuring logical consistency and guiding mathematical reasoning. The consistency and coherence of a mathematical structure depend on the clarity and completeness of its axiomatic system.
There are two types of mathematical axioms: logical and non-logical. Logical axioms are the "self-evident," unprovable, mathematical statements which are held to be universally true across all disciplines of math. The axiomatic system known as ZFC has great examples of logical axioms. I added a related link about ZFC if you'd like to learn more. Non-logical axioms, on the other hand, are the axioms that are specific to a particular branch of mathematics, like arithmetic, propositional calculus, and group theory. I added links to those as well.
Continuum hypothesis was proven, with an proving method called "forcing", to be undecidable under commonly accepted axioms of the set theory. This means that neither continuum hypothesis nor it's negation follows from this axioms just like one axiom (or it's negation) in some consistent axiomatic system does not follow from other axioms. Therefore, continuum hypothesis or it's negation could be added as an additional axiom to existing commonly accepted axioms of the set theory.
No, indifference curves in consumer theory do not cross, as they represent different levels of satisfaction for the consumer. Crossing would imply inconsistency in preferences, which goes against the assumptions of rational decision-making in consumer theory.
The consumer has a small income.
types of equilibrium in consumer theory
ordinal approach to the theory of consumer behaviour is consumer's ability to rank his preference for various combination of products. It uses Indifference curve to analyse these preferences.
Gödel's theorem states that it is impossible to make a complete set of mathematical axioms that can explain every truth about arithmetics. This means that no matter how you define the fundamental axioms of mathematics, there have to be certain statements that are true within mathematics that can not be formally proved by using the fundamental axioms. This theorem pretty much shattered the mathematician's dream of describing all of mathematics within a framework of a limited number of logical axioms. Nevertheless, the axiomatic Zermelo-Frankel set theory is able to explain all of the known mathematics from fundamental axioms, but philosophically it is still not a complete theory. Although the theorem is extremely complicated, it can be understood by anybody with a basic mathematical knowledge. This link shows a version of the proof: http://www4.ncsu.edu/unity/lockers/users/f/felder/public/kenny/papers/godel.html

theory means writing paper.
The short answer to your question: yes. This is one of the central axioms of math. If you'd like a bit more detail, try researching number theory.
