Axiom Axioms are truths that cannot be derived but for which there are no counter examples or exceptions. Examples of Axioms: -First and second law of thermodynamics Newton's three law of mechanics CLGO System Engineering by J.J.Gao 16

How were the Design Axiom Created Identifying the common elements that are present in all good designs: -How did I make such a big improvement in a process? How did I create the process? -What are the common elements in good designs? Use logical reasoning process to reduce the observations to two Axioms. System Engineering by J.J.Gao CLGO 17

The Two Axioms Axiom 1:Independence Axiom-maintain the independence of functional requirements (FRs). ·Axiom2:The Information Axiom一minimize the information content of the design. CLGO System Engineering by J.J.Gao 18
