Axiomic
This is an axiom, as a fundamental starting point or self-evident truth, a proposition accepted as true without proof, serving as a basis for reasoning, deduction, and building complex arguments or systems of thought, like the Law of Non-Contradiction ("A thing cannot both be and not be") pertaining specifically to a body of knowledge, a domain, epistemology, or a system of classification. Therefore, "axiomic" describes something that acts as a structural anchor, much like a skeleton or a cornerstone, rather than just a statement of fact.
"The philosopher argued that human dignity is not merely a social construct, but an axiomic component of existence—indivisible, foundational, and unable to be broken down into smaller parts."
