The necessity for primitive notions is illustrated in several axiomatic foundations in mathematics: Set theory: The concept of the set is an example of a primitive notion. As Mary Tiles writes: [6] [The] 'definition' of 'set' is less a definition than an attempt at explication of something which is being given the status of a primitive ...
The primitive notion that Pasch uses in its place is line segment. Pasch observed that the ordering of points on a line (or equivalently containment properties of line segments) is not properly resolved by Euclid's axioms; thus, Pasch's theorem , stating that if two line segment containment relations hold then a third one also holds, cannot be ...

The only primitive relations are "betweenness" and "congruence" among points. Tarski's axiomatization is shorter than its rivals, in a sense Tarski and Givant (1999) make explicit. It is more concise than Pieri's because Pieri had only two primitive notions while Tarski introduced three: point, betweenness, and congruence.
Hilbert's axiom system is constructed with six primitive notions: three primitive terms: [5] point; line; plane; and three primitive relations: [6] Betweenness, a ternary relation linking points; Lies on (Containment), three binary relations, one linking points and straight lines, one linking points and planes, and one linking straight lines ...
Alessandro Padoa (14 October 1868 – 25 November 1937) was an Italian mathematician and logician, a contributor to the school of Giuseppe Peano. [1] He is remembered for a method for deciding whether, given some formal theory, a new primitive notion is truly independent of the other primitive notions.
The simplest way to introduce cardinals is to add a primitive notion, Card(), and an axiom of cardinality to ZF set theory (without axiom of choice). [2] Axiom of cardinality: The sets A and B are equinumerous if and only if Card(A) = Card(B)
The primitive notions of his theory were function and argument. Using these notions, he defined class and set. [1] Paul Bernays reformulated von Neumann's theory by taking class and set as primitive notions. [2] Kurt Gödel simplified Bernays' theory for his relative consistency proof of the axiom of choice and the generalized continuum ...
