Actually, I disagree. They are not fundamentally unprovable, they are self evident and all further constructions rely upon them for their existence. Their proof is that they cannot be dispensed with. For example, morality or ethics presume the concept of choice. You can prove that choice exists but you cannot reduce any further than choice. If there is no choice, there can be no morality or ethic, since there would be no way choose a higher value, namely life over death.
Brilliant! I thank you for writing this.

Welcome. I've had a hard time logging on here, and keeping my breakfast down at the same time, so I've been avoiding the place. Didn't mean to ignore you.
