Axiom:Outer Additivity of Equidistance

Axiom
Let $x,y,z,x',y',z'$ be points.

Let $\equiv$ be the relation of equidistance.

Let $\mathsf{B}$ be the relation of betweenness.

This axiom asserts:


 * $\forall x,y,z,x',y',z' : \left({\mathsf{B}xyz \land \mathsf{B}x'y'z' \land xy \equiv x'y' \land yz \equiv y'z'}\right) \implies xz \equiv x'z'$

Intuition


Let $xy$ and $x'y'$ be line segments of the same length

Further let $yz$ and $y'z'$ be line segments of the same length.

If you connect $xy$ to $yz$, and $x'y'$ to $y'z'$, segments $xyz$ and $x'y'z'$ will be the same length.
