No. Axioms and postulates are statements that we accept as true without proof.
The word that refers to supposing that a statement is true without proof is "assume." In logic and reasoning, to assume something means to take it for granted or accept it as fact without requiring evidence. This can be important in various fields, including mathematics and philosophy, where assumptions serve as foundational premises for further reasoning.

A zero-knowledge proof is an interactive method for one party to prove to another that a mathematical statement is true without revealing anything other than the veracity of the statement.
True. An indirect proof, also known as proof by contradiction, involves assuming that the statement to be proven is false. From this assumption, logical deductions are made, ultimately leading to a contradiction or an impossible situation, which implies that the original statement must be true. This method is often used in mathematical reasoning to establish the validity of a statement.
