Hi,
Please read http://www.geocities.com/complementarytheory/No-Naive-Math.pdf (include its links).
I'll be glad to get your detailed remarks and insights.
Thank you,

Edit (11/8/2004):
Here is a list of my axioms:
Tautology:
x implies x (An example: suppose Paul is not lying. Whoever is not lying, is telling the truth Therefore, Paul is telling the truth) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tautology.
(tautology is also known as the opposite of a contradiction).
(EDIT: instead of the above definition, I change Tautology to: The identity of a thing to itself.
It means that in my framework we do not need 'if, then' to define a Tautology)
Set:
A set is a finite or infinite collection of objects in which order has no significance, and multiplicity is also ignored.
Multiset:
A set-like object in which order is ignored, but multiplicity is explicitly significant.
Singleton set:
A set having exactly one element a. A singleton set is denoted by {a} and is the simplest example of a nonempty set.
Urelement:(no internal parts)
An urelement contains no elements, belongs to some set, and is not identical with the empty set http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Urelement.html.
It means that in my framework we do not need 'if, then' to define a Tautology)
A definition for a point:
A singleton set p that can be defined only by tautology* ('='), where p has no internal parts.
A definition for an interval (segment):
A singleton set s that can be defined by tautology* ('=') and ('<' or '>'), where s has no internal parts.
(*more detailed explanation of the first two definitions:
---------------------
Remark:
In Standard Math we had to write:
Point proposition:
If a content of a set is a singleton and a urelement and has no directions, then it is a point.
Segment propositon:
If a content of a set is a singleton and a urelement and also has directions, then it is a segment.
But since in this framework a Tautology is the identity of a thing to itself,
we do not need an 'if, then' proposition for tautology.
---------------------
Let us examine {.} and {._.} definitions by using the symmetry concept:
1) {.} content is the most symmetrical (the most "tight" on itself) content of a non-empty set.
It means that the direction concept does not exist yet and '.' can be defined only by '=' (tautology), which is the identity of '.' to itself.
2) {._.} content is the first content that "breaks" the most "tight" symmetry of {.} content, and now in addition to '=' by tautology (which is the identity of '._.' to itself) we have for the first time an existing direction '<' left-right, '>' right-left and also '<>' no-direction, which is different from the most "tight" non-empty element '.'
In short, by these two first definitions we get the different non-empty and indivisible contents '.'(a point) or '_'(a segment) .
In short, in both definitions (of {.} or {._.}) the conclusion cannot be different from the premise (mathworld.wolfram.com/Tautology.html)
As we can see, in my framework '<','>' symbols have a deeper meaning then 'order'.
Actually, in order to talk about 'order' we first need a 'direction')
The axiom of independency:
p and s cannot be defined by each other.
The axiom of complementarity:
p and s are simultaneously preventing/defining their middle domain (please look at http://www.geocities.com/complementarytheory/CompLogic.pdf to understand the Included-Middle reasoning).
The axiom of minimal structure:
Any number which is not based on |{}|, is at least p_AND_s, where p_AND_s is at least Multiset_AND_Set.
The axiom of duality(*):
Any number is both some unique element of the collection of minimal structures, and a scale factor (which is determined by |{}| or s) of the entire collection.
The axiom of completeness:
A collection is complete if an only if both lowest and highest bounds are included in it and it has a finite quantity of scale levels (lowest bound and highest bound are the ends of some given element, or a collection of more than one element, where beyond them it cannot be found*.)
--------------------------------
*Let us clarify the 'finite' concept in my framework:
In my system I have 4 building-blocks, which are:
{}, {.}, {._.}, {__}
The cardinal of {} is 0.
The cardinal of {.} is one of many.
The cardinal of {._.} is one of many.
The cardinal of {__} is The one.
The bounds of lowest and highest existence (the ends) of these building-blocks
are determined by their cardinality, for example:
(in this example I omitted {.}_AND_{._.} and used only their building-blocks)
The lowest and highest bounds of {.} are cardinals 1 to 1.
The lowest and highest bounds of {._.} are cardinals 1 to 1.
The lowest and highest bounds of {} are cardinals 0 to 0.
The lowest and highest bounds of {__} are cardinals The 1 to The 1.
The lowest and highest bounds of {{.},{._.},{.}} are cardinals 1 to 3.
The cardinals beyond {.} are 0, n>1 and the 1.
The cardinals beyond {._.} are 0, n>1 and the 1.
The cardinals beyond {} are n>0 and The 1.
The cardinals beyond {___} are any cardinal which is not The 1.
The cardinals beyond some n are 0 and any j where j>n.
--------------------------------
The Axiom of the unreachable weak limit:
No input can be found by {} which stands for Emptiness.
The Axiom of the unreachable strong limit:
No input can be found by {__} which stands for Fullness.
The Axiom of potentiality:
p {.} is a potential Emptiness {}, where s {._.} is a potential Fullness {__}.
The Axiom of phase transition:
a) There is no Urelement between {} and {.}.
b) There is no Urelement between {.} and {._.}.
c) There is no Urelement between {._.} and {__}.
Urelement (http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Urelement.html).
The axiom of abstract/representation relations:
There must be a deep and precise connection between our abstract ideas and the ways that we choose to represent them.
(*) The Axiom of Duality is the deep basis of +,-,*,/ arithmetical operations.
(By the way the diagrams in my papers are also proofs without words http://mathworld.wolfram.com/ProofwithoutWords.html )
The Axiom of the paradigm-shift:
Within any consistent system, there is at least one well-defined set, which its content cannot be well-defined within the framework of the current system.
