The Postulate
When one has a sense of “Unknowable,” it is given meaning by postulates. All scientific theories, philosophic rumination and religious faith come about this way.
Dictionaries define a postulate as something claimed to be true, which is then used as a basis for reasoning. A postulate is a creative thought that brings about greater clarity to existing reality. For example, Einstein’s postulate, “The speed of light is a universal constant” brought greater clarity to the concepts of space and time.
A postulate is something well-thought out to fill the holes in a big picture. Currently, holes exist in the picture of the universe as painted by the Standard Model of Particle Physics and the General Theory of Relativity. Astute postulates are needed to fill these holes.
A postulate anchors a whole framework of reasoning. It is continued to be refined by eliminating misconceptions. An arbitrary postulate, when introduced, distorts reality.

Notes
A postulate is the starting point of a chain of logic. It has no prior logic. It is constrained only by the overall postulate of oneness. It means that all postulates must be continuous, consistent and harmonious with each other.
