axiomatic system - creating theorems Consider the following

Consider the following axiomatic system:

  • Axiom 1: Each game is played by two distinct teams
  • Axiom 2: There are at least four teams
  • Axiom 3: There are at least six games played
  • Axiom 4: Each team played at most 4 games.

1. Expand your axiomatic system from part A by doing the following:

  1. Create two theorems that follow from the four axioms.
  2. Prove each theorem from part (a) using any of the four axioms and/or any of the theorems from part (a) that you have already proven.

The exploration of axiomatic systems provides a structured framework within which mathematical truths can be established. We begin our examination by outlining the given axioms related to a game system involving teams and games. This paper will derive two theorems based on the mentioned axioms and prove them accordingly.

Theorem 1: Each game must involve distinct teams that are not re-entered.

In a system where each game is played by two distinct teams (Axiom 1), and there are at least four teams (Axiom 2), it can be inferred that no team can participate more than once in any single game. This leads us to conclude that for any game that occurs within the system, teams must not re-enter, meaning that each game pairing involves a unique set of teams.

The proof of Theorem 1 utilizes Axiom 1 directly as our foundation. Since Axiom 1 clearly states that each game is played by two distinct teams, it is impossible for any team to participate in the same game more than once, thus proving that games must indeed involve distinct teams.

Theorem 2: The minimum number of games required is six.

From Axiom 3, we know that there are at least six games played. Additionally, given that there are at least four teams participating (Axiom 2), we can assess the implications of this axiom in the broader context of games being played. Since each team can only play a maximum of four games (Axiom 4), we can define the overall combinations of teams that might occur in these games.

To prove this theorem, we consider that if we have four teams, and each team is scheduled to play no more than four games, we can draw out the combinations of functions. The minimum number of unique matchups occurs when each team plays against every other team as much as possible while adhering to the constraints of Axiom 4. With more teams or a smaller allotment of games per team, the number of games cannot fall below six as outlined in Axiom 3.

Conclusion

Through the analysis of these axioms and theorems, we confirm that games require distinct teams, and any structure of the game must maintain the integrity of non-repetition in game pairings. Additionally, the stipulations in place ensure a minimum threshold of games that must be played. Thus, both theorems arise directly from the foundational axioms set forth, allowing us to engage in a systematic exploration of team dynamics in game environments.
