Have you explored the possibility that these axioms run parallel/are realities or dimensions. In other words, some other form of the twelve dimensions (we only know up to time: it is quite possible that the Hive know more) or differing realities/existences (basic theories state that there are likely 10 realities [I can't remember where this is written]- could the Hive have found one more).
Additionally: original concepts of Destiny were said to have a structure related to Dante's Level's of Heaven (each planet was designed to be a different level). Whether this was scrapped, or lost in translation, we may never know. It stands to reason that these axioms could follow the Levels of Hell also contained within the Divine Comedy. Is there any possible correlation?

It doesn't really fit the definition of axiom, or the way it's used by Ir Anuk in the quote. The 11 axioms describe ascendant places, or throne worlds.

Well, yes: assuming each axiom is a world and an eternal truth, I do not feel it is too far fetched for them to be relatable to Dante, especially because each of his Levels of Hell were specifically designated for a type of sin. It's sort of like the invert of the axioms described: or a possible parallel, since the Darkness, and the Hive as a consequence, derives power from pain and destruction. These axioms could essentially be describing world's of ultimate pain, which to the Darkness is a perfect world, as surviving pain etc is to prove your own existence/worth. Basically, what if these axioms describe a sort of Hive heaven, which is also our Hell, foiling our races perfectly.

I still don't think it makes sense that places (supposedly axioms) can describe other places (throne worlds).
