	==~~Identity~~==		== A is A ==

			The [[Axiom]] of identity '''is''' the fact that every thing is itself, instead of anything else.
			A is not B or C. A is A at all times and in all places.

			The [[Axiom]] of identity, on its own, is not a particularly useful [[Concepts\|Concept]]. It serves instead as the fundamental formula for [[Logic]], [[Logical Terms\|induction]], [[Logical Terms\|deduction]] and all [[Reason\|human knowledge]].

			In mathematics, each side of the equation must be the same as the other. In [[Epistemology\|Objectivist Epistemology]], all statements must be [[Logical Terms\|tautological]] ''because'' A is A.

	The [[axiom]] of identity states that everything is what it is, that objects obey their basic nature, an apple is an apple, A is A. It is the fundamental rule of [[logic]] and is a prerequisite to the certainty of [[knowledge]].
