Zero-Postulation or Null-Postulation and Abstraction

<p><strong>The best bet is to find out the most fundamental components within the system</strong> and building a theory round these. In other words, a theory that is able to describe the world in totality has <strong>to keep the number of basic postulates it depends upon to zero </strong>or near zero.</p> <p><em><strong>Zero Postulation</strong></em> gives rise to abstraction. The abstraction we are talking about here may be defined as, <em><strong>&ldquo;Postulation of non-postulation&rdquo; or, in other words, &ldquo;A system of postulation that gives equal weights to all possible solutions inside the system and favors none of such solutions over others.&rdquo;</strong></em></p>
