Axiomempiricalv1
Higher mental functions, including meaning-making, originate
Higher mental functions originate in social interaction and are subsequently internalized rather than originating inside the individual.
Why This Is an Axiom
This is Vygotsky's foundational empirical claim about cognitive development — that thinking is internalized social dialogue. It cannot be derived from other axioms in the curriculum; it is a bedrock claim about how cognition develops that underlies the entire interdependence framework.
