The principle that proofs operate in two modes: absolute proofs (demonstrations that establish truth beyond any reasonable doubt, in any framework) and relative proofs (demonstrations that establish truth within a particular system, for a particular audience, under particular assumptions). The law acknowledges that some proofs are universally compelling—mathematical proofs that follow from axioms, logical proofs that are valid in any system. Other proofs are context-dependent—legal proofs that meet standards of evidence, scientific proofs that satisfy peer review, everyday proofs that convince specific audiences. The law of absolute and relative proofs reconciles the ideal of proof as conclusive with the reality that proof is always for someone, somewhere, under some standards.
