Foxiom
A foxiom is an axiom that is formalized using complicated formulas in order to generate more fuzz around them. In the literature, foxioms are often referred to as fuzzioms as well. Most foxioms are formulated by tax collectors who have too much time on their hands, as tax collecting is not an activity that one does every day of the year.
In weather simulations, foxioms are often used to predict the chance of the occurrences of fog and smog. Like axioms, foxioms are very whimsical, and therefore they are perfect for chaotic weather systems and simulations of them.
History[edit | edit source]
In the year 264 BCE, the ancient Greek philosopher Xioma of Milete formulated the Law of Xioma while an apple fell right on her head while she was sucking on a banana. For a split second, the influence of both the apple and the banana at the same time triggered neural processes in her brain which led to the very first historical account of an axiom. According to this law, no deduction can ever arrive at the same conclusion if it is based on the same axiom. The Law of Xioma has become the corner stone of Western Philosophy, and the rest of the world has been catching up ever since. Throughout the ages, the ancient axioms would gradually result in the foxioms of modern times.
Architecture[edit | edit source]
Besides weather models, foxioms have also proven to be very useful for the construction of buildings. In order to arrive at strong foundations of houses, offices, etc. a representative set of foxioms is formulated that determines the firmness of the soil a building is built on. The more fixioms, the more reliable the calculations are. Typically, for the construction of an average house 1000 foxioms are used, whilst for a large building one usually needs 10.000 or more foxioms.
Biology[edit | edit source]
In biology, the foxiom is often used in studies of wolves and other dog-like animals. The many irrational decisions such animals make which makes them bark at kind people who give them food or take them out for a walk and peeing on clothes, suit cases, water bottles, etc. can often be explained by posing a handful of foxioms. If a dog needs to decide what place is suitable as a toilet, many subconscious processes that involve millions of foxioms take place in their minds. On brain scans of dogs who were in the process of deciding whether the interior of a shopping mall was suitable as a toilet, such processes can clearly be recognized as random lines, dots, circles, triangles and what not.
Tales of the Foxioms[edit | edit source]
The book Tales of the Foxioms is a classic book by W.R. Ongly. In this book, many stories on foxioms are told. Some citations from this work:
Have you ever vacuumed a room, and all of a sudden something big was swallowed by the vacuum cleaner and you do not know what on earth that was? Chances are, that this was a bunch of foxioms cluttering together. That is what they do.
It was late at night, and the foxioms were howling in the dark. No one suspected this was an omen and no one thought of the threat that awaited them during this very cold night.
Disentangling foxioms is like eating spaghetti with only one chop stick. Many people have tried, all have failed.
Foxioms are found in the brain. They have no reality outside it. But our perception may deceive us, making us think they are being swallowed by vacuum cleaners or howling in the dark. This proves their very existence within the human mind. Think of this the next time you are eating spaghetti.
