*My counter-example to your claim are the several postulates or axioms of Wave Mechanics. Another example are the three postulates or axioms of Feynman's Sums over Histories as stated here: http://muchomas.lassp.cornell.edu/8.04/Lecs/lec_FeynmanDiagrams/node3.html . The general of these systems can be considered as theorems. I am sure other examples exist.
