Substance, is some element of existence which the intellect can necessary come to know of in its totality.

By Singularity, I mean the infinitely generalized state of being, from which infinite forms or particular versions may spring.

By Form, I mean the constituent elements of singularity, the sum totality of which result in its realisation.

Conception is the act of abstracting a form to singularity through becoming aware of the higher singularity.

Perception is the act of becoming aware of a form with respect to its singularity. This does not require preconception of the singularity but simply some knowledge of its existence, i.e. a 'perception' (an incomplete conception).

The Will surmises the ontological necessity of form towards the existence of singularity. Singularity is ontologically prior to form, to speak of a singularity is to necessitate the totality of its forms, and so we introduce a metaphysical construct in saying that singularity has will towards its forms.

The dual notion of the Will is Striving. As forms exist only by virtue of their parent singularity we can say that forms strive towards their singularity, that the existence of the form in turn necessitates its higher singularity.

Axioms

Here I shall present a current account of the axioms I implicitly utilise, and perhaps a brief explanation as to why I deem these self ordained truths.

Axiom 1: Something exists.
If someone rejects this they are a lost case.

Axiom 2: We exist as a thinking entity.
Summarised by Descartes famous aphorism 'I think therefore I am.'
Thought cannot doubt thought, for to do so is thought itself.

Axiom 3: We can distinguish between multiple (at least two) substances.
We have some perception of multiple things existing, something other than apparent single unity exists.

Axiom 4: We hold the capacity to perceive of an external world along with our inner mental cognition.
This duality has been noted since the dawn of human knowledge, its precise nature is left to the domain of philosophy and the pursuit of truth.

Axiom 5: There exists a singularity, and as a result there exists at least one complete conception of the human mind from form.
This is essentially equivalent to stating an infinity exists, understanding infinity as a higher structure abstracted from a set of elements. In fact this mathematical equivalence is seen as so essential that it is also taken as an axiom of set theory, the foundation of mathematics. I believe that to any mathematically literate mind this should suffice as sufficient justification of the axiom.
