math is literally the only subject that has rules set in stone

go past past high school and this isn't remotely true

there are areas of study where 1+1=1

...given specific axioms. No rules are being broken.

but which axioms you decide are in use is an arbitrary choice

In modular arithmetic you can make 1+1=0 but I'm struggling to think of a situation where 1+1=1 without redefining the + and = functions.

Not saying you're wrong, but do you have an example? I'd be interested to see

But this is a high school Maths question, so "past high school" isn't relevant here.
