  We briefly show how classical mechanics can be rederived and better
understood as a consequence of three assumptions: infinitesimal reducibility,
deterministic and reversible evolution, and kinematic equivalence. This work is
an overview of some of the results of Assumptions of Physics, a project that
aims to identify a handful of physical principles from which the basic laws can
be rigorously derived (see https://assumptionsofphysics.org ).
