    We call classical physics “ab initio” because we can formulate axioms and the corresponding statements, derivation rules, and symbols.
    In quantum physics, we can’t really do that so easily, so it shouldn’t be considered “ab initio.”
    I would describe classical electromagnetism as “ab initio,” with Maxwell’s equations as its axioms.

    But Schrödingers equation might be an axiom for quantum physics. Is probability density allowed for axioms?
