Abstract
When considering an alternative path that science could or should have taken, we are faced with the dilemma of deciding which formative assumptions would need to change. In this essay, we take a more dramatic approach - of wiping the slate clean and seeing how science could have emerged assumption-free from pure logic alone. This leads us down a surprisingly simple geometric path of least action in which qualia is more fundamental than quanta and conservation of neutrality most fundamental of all.
