Axiomtheoreticalv1

The number of unique communication channels in a team of n

The number of unique communication channels in a team of n people is n(n-1)/2.

Why This Is an Axiom

This is a mathematical identity from graph theory, accepted as a framework assumption. It is not empirical (not falsifiable — it's definitionally true) and not philosophical (not a worldview commitment). It is a theoretical foundation used to reason about coordination costs.
