While studying artificial neural networks, I stumbled upon the following question:Are there any hard-wired axioms in the brain that must exist equally in every conscious mind?I could imagine that, since neuron can't change their principal behavior, simple signal-modulating functions should always work the same way. By axioms I don't necessarily mean the axioms known from math, but functional units that do not rely on further microscopic elements. Like if you say neurons functioning is also influenced by proteins - ok than turn to protein level. At some point there should be a level reached where things (neurons, proteins, atoms) should always work the same.But of course the mathematical axioms are a good way to prove that some functions evaluate to the same result in different brains.For example if you teach addition to a child then you would first show the child  one apple then two, then three, etc. Although abstract logical rules like the commutative property possibly reside in more complex structures, nobody needs to be taught in counting.This possibly also fits in philosophy - I wasn't quite sure.
Are there axioms in the mind?
