How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T22456073 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

-
A.
Euclid's postulates
Euclid's postulates are the foundational axioms of classical Euclidean geometry, defining basic properties of points, lines, and planes from which the rest of the geometry is logically derived.
-
B.
Euclid's Elements
Euclid's Elements is an ancient Greek mathematical treatise that systematically presents the foundations of geometry, number theory, and mathematical proof.
-
C.
Commentary on Euclid's Elements
Commentary on Euclid's Elements is a late antique philosophical and mathematical treatise by Proclus that analyzes and interprets Euclid’s foundational geometry text while preserving valuable information about earlier Greek mathematics.
-
D.
Commentary on the Difficulties of Certain Postulates of Euclid
Commentary on the Difficulties of Certain Postulates of Euclid is a mathematical treatise by Omar Khayyam in which he critically examines and attempts to resolve issues in Euclid’s postulates, especially the parallel postulate, laying early groundwork for later developments in geometry.
-
E.
Hilbert's axioms
Hilbert's axioms are a rigorous, foundational set of logical assumptions introduced by David Hilbert to provide a complete and consistent basis for Euclidean geometry.
- F. None of above. chosen
