How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T857945 — 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.
Frege’s system in "Grundgesetze der Arithmetik"
Frege’s system in "Grundgesetze der Arithmetik" is a foundational logical framework for arithmetic based on second-order logic and Basic Law V, whose inconsistency—revealed by Russell’s paradox—marked a turning point in the development of modern logic and set theory.

B.
On the Fourfold Root of the Principle of Sufficient Reason
On the Fourfold Root of the Principle of Sufficient Reason is a foundational philosophical treatise by Arthur Schopenhauer that analyzes the different ways in which the principle of sufficient reason structures human knowledge and experience.
-
C.
Principia Mathematica
Principia Mathematica is a landmark three-volume work in mathematical logic and the foundations of mathematics, co-authored by Bertrand Russell and Alfred North Whitehead, which aimed to derive all mathematical truths from a formal system of symbolic logic.
-
D.
Morse–Kelley set theory by class–set distinction
Morse–Kelley set theory by class–set distinction is a foundational system that avoids certain set-theoretic paradoxes by rigorously distinguishing between sets and proper classes within a powerful axiomatic framework.

E.
Remarks on the Foundations of Mathematics
Remarks on the Foundations of Mathematics is a posthumously published collection of Ludwig Wittgenstein’s later writings that critically examines the nature of mathematical truth, proof, and practice from a philosophical and language-centered perspective.

How these facts were elicited
The pipeline generated the facts above by prompting gpt-5.1 with this entity's name + description and the instruction below.
You are a knowledge base construction expert. Given a subject entity and a description of it, return factual statements that you know for the subject as a JSON list of dictionaries(triples), where keys must be "subject", "predicate" and "object". The number of facts may be very high, between 25 to 50 or more, for very popular subjects. For less popular subjects, the number of facts can be very low, like 5 or 10. # Requirements - If you don't know the subject at all, return an empty list. - If the subject is not a named entity, return an empty list. - Include at least one triple where predicate is "instanceOf". - Do not get too wordy. - Separate several objects into multiple triples with one object.
Subject: Hume’s Principle (derivable, not postulated) Description of subject: Hume’s Principle (derivable, not postulated) is the numerical equivalence principle in Frege’s logical system that is obtained as a theorem rather than assumed as a foundational axiom.
