Axiom of Partiality

The Axiom of Partiality is a principle in constructive mathematics stating that it’s acceptable to assume we may need to wait indefinitely to decide the truth of some statements, especially when evidence is incomplete. Instead of requiring an immediate answer, it acknowledges that certain problems might be undecidable with current information. This allows mathematicians to build theories that accept uncertainty, focusing on what can be explicitly constructed or known, rather than forcing absolute conclusions. Essentially, it embraces the idea that some questions may remain partially unresolved, rather than assuming all statements are definitively true or false right away.
