First Principles

In philosophy and science, a first principle (or first principles) refers to a basic proposition that cannot be deduced from any other proposition or assumption. The concept originates in philosophy from Aristotle's doctrine of the 'first cause', while in Kantian philosophy, its corresponding form is called a 'postulate'. In mathematics and formal logic, first principles manifest as 'axioms' or 'postulates', constituting the absolute starting point of logical deduction. In physics and other scientific fields, if the research process is entirely based on fundamental physical laws, without relying on empirical models or parameter fitting, it is referred to as 'from first principles' or 'ab initio'.
