assume provide additional axioms to the ones implicit in the 
program.
assert provide theorems to be proven.

assume provide claims that already are proven (or just defined as 
a requirement imposed on the environment).

For instance after a system call, you might have a specification 
that states exactly what you can assume after it returns. That 
specification you can specify as assume() and you can optimize on 
those, safely.

assert() you cannot optimize on safely. Those are theorems that 
are yet to be proven.
