This work introduces a foundational paradigm shift in the philosophy and practice of mathematics, positing the Right Isosceles Triangle (RIT) with unit legs as the sole, indivisible "atom" of mathematical reality. We propose a new axiomatic system (Axiom 0) wherein numbers, algebraic structures, geometric forms, and the operations of calculus are not disparate abstract entities but emergent properties of RIT mosaics and their symmetries. The text systematically rebuilds arithmetic as the composition of triangular mosaics, reinterprets algebra as the grammar of RIT transformations, and frames mathematical analysis as the dynamics of infinitesimal triangular deformations. By resolving classical dichotomies—such as the gap between discrete and continuous, and the inconsistencies between real and p-adic metrics—this framework offers a unified "generative" language for all major branches of mathematics. We further demonstrate how the RIT paradigm provides a geometric intuition for unsolved problems, including the Riemann Hypothesis and the Collatz Conjecture, by reducing them to the behavior of specific RIT configurations. This paper serves as a manifesto for a "great shakedown" of mathematics, arguing that the fragmentation of modern math is an artifact of projection, and that ultimate unity lies in the holographic nature of the fundamental triangle. The RIT is not merely a shape, but the logical operator that folds nothingness into complexity.
