Abstract: | In the foundations of non-Euclidean geometry without Dedekind's axiom, Archimedes' axiom suffices to insure that the geometry is hyperbolic, but this axiom is not necessary. The weaker axiom of Aristotle is necessary and sufficient; it uses only geometric variables, not integer variables. |
