They're not called beliefs though, they're called provisions or assumptions, and really there are very few of them.
1) Stuff exists, solipsists don't get to play.
2) Stuff is consistent, i.e. there isn't someone behind the scenes pulling strings to change the rules on the fly.
That's all I can think of, got any other examples?
