Bohemian,

This will probaby end up going over my head, or at least will get into detail that I've never studied, but my last question got lost in the shuffle.

Any valid chain of reasoning has to start with first principles, i.e. - axioms. If it doesn't then the conclusions are arbitrary and ultimately meaningless. I'm not sure I understand why you would discuss "foundational beliefs" if those aren't meant to be axiomatic.

Foundational beliefs are not principles. They are beliefs.
