Axioms

The Axioms are Divine-like beings created by the moon Volition. Concieved by the Independents, who, after seeing Independence, thought that the idea of Divine's that did not require an Excerpt. Axioms, in contrast to Divines, are not focused on human ideals, or benefiting people, but still embody the same single idea that Divines do. Because they don't have the idea of people at their core, they can sometimes pose a problem to people who encounter them. The axiom Bountiful caused considerable damage to the Divine fleet ships that wanted to pass it, to land on Quire. Axoms can by altered, if they are captured and contained. It was proposed that Bountiful might be altered, changed into simply a machine that could produce a large amount of food for the citizens of the Fleet. However, it also proved possible to change Bountiful from an Axiom, into a Divine, though how this was accomplished is not yet known.
