Not a good Example
the Spock is example is weak. Bertot, you are tying yourself in knots trying to defend your hypothesis. If anything, this shows the danger in trying to hang on to axiomatic truths in the face of contrary evidence.
I don't believe axioms exist in nature in the way you define them. Can you give a real example of one? Personally I don't think we can even assume that the rules of logic necessarily apply to the universe, without evidence.
