[Sir Francis Dashwood]

Reality is not an axiom-based system of formal logic,...

It sure is... we are born, we reproduce, we die...

"What's he that was not of born of woman?" (Macbeth)

The map is not the territory. The model is not that which it models. Axiom-based systems of formal logic are models, they are not that which they model.
