1. All logics and maths are composed of assumptions.
2. These assumptions are justified by the proofs which stem from them.
3. These assumptions are connected through the proofs, but are not connected in and of themselves except through the proof where the proof as an extension of these assumptions becomes an assumption itself.
4. Nothing holds the assumptions together except the multitude of assumptions that stem from them. An analogy would be a large house built upon bricks with no mortar, with the weight of the bricks holding them together...nothing more.
5. This increase in proofs, as various assumptions stemming from the original assumption, gain a truth value based upon an inherent mass where the core assumptions multiply and multiply through various proofs.
6. Truth value is thus equated to mass, with mass existing as obscure formlessness due to infinite and or progressing to infinite "complexity as multiplicity".
7. Truth value is thus formless mass of increasing assumptions that pulls the assumptions together but continual fragments the original assumptions as each proof is a variation of the original assumption. A metaphor for this would be with the increasing number of bricks that hold the foundational non-mortared bricks of a house together comes increased pressure on these non mortared bricks that cause them to crack.
8. With the increase in proofs comes an increase fragmentation of the original assumption where the assumption as an empty context is negated as a context all together thus have no value, neither true nor false.
