Axiom is incompatible with the law of excluded middle.
Either the one or the other has to leave the scene.
In Part I of this book, the law of excluded middle has to leave,
being incompatible with the natural synthetic reasoning
on smooth geometry to be presented here.
In the terms which the logicians use, this means that
the logic employed is ‘constructive’ or ‘intuitionistic’.
We prefer to think of it just as ‘that reasoning
which can be carried out in all sufficiently good
cartesian closed categories’.
