Dianetics Axioms 31 – 45

dianetics-logo1

Reference: The Dianetics Axioms

L. Ron Hubbard found that man is obeying very definite laws and rules which could be set forward in axioms. The very first and most fundamental of these is: The dynamic principle of existence is survive. That is the basic axiom of Dianetics.

The original Dianetic axioms are referenced below in black.

Axioms 31-45

DN AXIOM 31: Wrongness is always miscalculation of effort.

DN AXIOM 32: THETA can exert itself directly or extensionally.
THETA can direct physical application of the organism to the environment or, through the mind, can first calculate the action or extend, as in language, ideas.

DN AXIOM 33: Conclusions are directed toward the inhibition, maintenance or accelerations of efforts.

DN AXIOM 34: The common denominator of all life organisms is motion.

DN AXIOM 35: Effort of an organism to survive or succumb is physical motion of a life organism at a given moment in time through space.
DEFINITION: Motion is any change in orientation in space.DEFINITION: Force is random effort.DEFINITION: Effort is directed force.

.

.

DN AXIOM 36: An organism’s effort can be to remain at rest or persist in a given motion.
Static state has position in time, but an organism which is remaining positionally in a static state, if alive, is still continuing a highly complex pattern of motion, such as the heartbeat, digestion, etc. The efforts of organisms to survive or succumb are assisted, compelled or opposed by the efforts of other organisms, matter, energy, space and time.DEFINITION: Attention is a motion which must remain at an optimum effort. Attention is aberrated by becoming unfixed and sweeping at random or becoming too fixed without sweeping. Unknown threats to survival when sensed cause attention to sweep without fixing. Known threats to survival when sensed cause attention to fix.

DN AXIOM 37: The ultimate goal of LAMBDA is infinite survival.

DN AXIOM 38: Death is abandonment by THETA of a life organism or race or species where these can no longer serve THETA in its goals of infinite survival.

DN AXIOM 39: The reward of an organism engaging upon survival activity is pleasure.

DN AXIOM 40: The penalty of an organism failing to engage upon survival activity, or engaging in non-survival activity, is pain.

.

.

DN AXIOM 41: The cell and virus are the primary building blocks of life organisms.

DN AXIOM 42: The virus and cell are matter and energy animated and motivated in space and time by THETA.

DN AXIOM 43: THETA mobilizes the virus and cell in colonial aggregations to increase potential motion and accomplish effort.

DN AXIOM 44: The goal of viruses and cells is survival in space through time.

DN AXIOM 45: The total mission of higher organisms, viruses and cells is the same as that of the virus and cell.

Axioms 16-30

DN AXIOM 16: The basic food of any organism consists of light and chemicals.
Organisms can exist only as higher levels of complexities because lower levels of converters exist. THETA evolves organisms from lower to higher forms and supports them by the existence of lower converter forms.

DN AXIOM 17: THETA, via LAMBDA, effects an evolution of MEST.
In this we have the waste products of organisms on the one hand as those very complex chemicals which bacteria make and, on the other hand, we have the physical face of the Earth being changed by animals and men, such changes as grass holding mountains from eroding or roots causing boulders to break, buildings being built and rivers being dammed. There is obviously an evolution in MEST in progress under the incursion of THETA.

DN AXIOM 18: LAMBDA, even within a species, varies in its endowment of THETA.

DN AXIOM 19: The effort of LAMBDA is toward survival. The goal of LAMBDA is survival. The penalty of failure to advance toward that goal is to succumb.
DEFINITION: Persistence is the ability to exert continuance of effort toward survival goals.

DN AXIOM 20: LAMBDA creates, conserves, maintains, requires, destroys, changes, occupies, groups and disperses MEST.
LAMBDA survives by animating and mobilizing or destroying matter and energy in space and time.

.

.

DN AXIOM 21: LAMBDA is dependent upon optimum motion. Motion which is too swift and motion which is too slow are equally contra survival.

DN AXIOM 22: THETA and thought are similar orders of static.

DN AXIOM 23: All thought is concerned with motion.

DN AXIOM 24: The establishment of an optimum motion is a basic goal of reason.
DEFINITION: LAMBDA is a chemical heat engine existing in space and time motivated by the life static and directed by thought.

DN AXIOM 25: The basic purpose of reason is the calculation or estimation of effort.

.

.

DN AXIOM 26: Thought is accomplished by THETA FACSIMILES of physical universe, entities or actions.

DN AXIOM 27: THETA is satisfied only with harmonious action or optimum motion and rejects or destroys action or motion above or below its tolerance band.

DN AXIOM 28: The mind is concerned wholly with the estimation of effort.
DEFINITION: Mind is the THETA command post of any organism or organisms.

DN AXIOM 29: The basic errors of reason are failure to differentiate amongst matter, energy, space and time.

DN AXIOM 30: Rightness is proper calculation of effort.

Axioms 1-15

Dianetics starts with the postulate of a static; but, Postulate Mechanics starts with the postulate of awareness. DN = Dianetics; PM = Postulate Mechanics

DN AXIOM 1: The source of life is a static of peculiar and particular properties.

DN AXIOM 2: At least a portion of the static called life is impinged upon the physical universe.

DN AXIOM 3: That portion of the static of life which is impinged upon the physical universe has for its dynamic goal, survival and only survival.

DN AXIOM 4: The physical universe is reducible to motion of energy operating in space through time.

DN AXIOM 5: That portion of the static of life concerned with the life organisms of the physical universe is concerned wholly with motion.

.

.

DN AXIOM 6: The life static has as one of its properties the ability to mobilize and animate matter into living organisms.

DN AXIOM 7: The life static is engaged in a conquest of the physical universe.

DN AXIOM 8: The life static conquers the material universe by learning and applying the physical laws of the physical universe.
SYMBOL: The symbol for the LIFE STATIC in use hereafter is the Greek letter THETA.

DN AXIOM 9: A fundamental operation of THETA in surviving is bringing order into the chaos of the physical universe.

DN AXIOM 10: THETA brings order into chaos by conquering whatever in MEST may be pro-survival and destroying whatever in MEST may be contra-survival, at least through the medium of life organisms.
SYMBOL: The symbol for the PHYSICAL UNIVERSE in use hereafter is MEST, from the first letters of the words MATTER, ENERGY, SPACE and TIME, or the Greek letter PHI.

.

.

DN AXIOM 11: A life organism is composed of matter and energy in space and time, animated by THETA.
SYMBOL: Living organism or organisms will hereafter be represented by the Greek letter LAMBDA.

DN AXIOM 12: The MEST part of the organism follows the laws of the physical sciences. All LAMBDA is concerned with motion.

DN AXIOM 13: THETA operating through LAMBDA converts the forces of the physical universe into forces to conquer the physical universe.

DN AXIOM 14: THETA working upon physical universe motion must maintain a harmonious rate of motion.
The limits of LAMBDA are narrow, both as to thermal and mechanical motion.

DN AXIOM 15: LAMBDA is the intermediate step in the conquest of the physical universe.

PM Chapter 11: Inertia, Motion, Gravity

Reference: Postulate Mechanics (PM)

Inertia is the innate force that establishes equilibrium between substantiality and motion of an object. Gravity is the innate force that establishes equilibrium between substantiality and motion for a system of objects. It is inertia that sets the speed of light to 3 x 108 m/s. It is gravity that sets the pattern of the rotation of the planets and the paths of their movement in the solar system. 

.

Inertia and Intrinsic Motion

In classical mechanics, inertia is the tendency to resist changes in motion. This resistance comes from centeredness of an object in space. We know about “centeredness” by observing a spinning top. The heavier is the top and the faster it spins, the more centered it is at a location in space; and the more difficult it is to displace that top from its location. This is the principle on which a gyroscope works.

Similarly, an object of large inertia is more centered in space, and it is difficult to move it around. It is much easier to move around an object of small inertia. Light moves at a high velocity of 3 x 108 m/s because its inertia is extremely small. Light’s velocity is fixed and finite because its inertia is fixed and finite. On the other hand, a material object moves at much smaller velocities because the inertia of matter is extremely large. 

The smaller is the inertia the greater is the intrinsic motion of a particle, or a quantum.

This intrinsic motion is observed not only in case of light but also in phenomenon called Brownian motion. The electrons in an atom are also modeled to have intrinsic motion. The intrinsic motion of larger objects on earth is not so obvious because the forces of friction and gravity are always acting on them. But we may imagine intrinsic motion for objects situated far from earth in free space.

The change in intrinsic velocity can be very precise for change in inertia. This means that the velocity of light may be different for different frequencies, but any such difference can be impossible to measure because of the overall high velocity of light. Similarly, the inertia of a material object may change with change in its velocity, but any such change can be impossible to measure because of the overall high inertia of matter. 

The magnitude of inertia most likely determines the velocity of a particle, or a quantum, in space.

The most fixed object in space is likely to be the black hole at the center of a galaxy. 

Newton’s laws of motion apply only to particles of matter that have high inertia. These laws do not apply to quanta of energy that have little inertia.

.

Inertia and Equilibrium

Inertia and intrinsic motion of substance are intimately related as noted above. Inertia not only resists changes in intrinsic motion, but it also maintains the intrinsic motion when no other forces are acting on a particle, or a quantum.

Newton’s laws of motion allow change of motion when external force is impressed, but they do not explicitly state what happens when that external force is removed. Hence it is assumed that the changed motion continues even after the force is removed.

Newton’s first law of motion states:

(1) Every body continues in its state of rest, or of uniform motion in a right line, unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed upon it.

This law seems to acknowledge the possibility of intrinsic motion, but it does not clearly state it. 

Newton’s second law of motion states:

(2) The change of motion is proportional to the motive force impressed; and is made in the direction of the right line in which that force is impressed.

This law relates change in motion to motive force impressed, but it does not explicitly state what happens to motion when an impressed motive force is removed. It is assumed that the increased motion continues after the force is removed.

Newton’s third law of motion states:

(3) To every action there is always opposed an equal reaction: or, the mutual actions of two bodies upon each other are always equal, and directed to contrary parts.

This law relates positive action to positive reaction only. It does not relate reaction to removal of an ongoing action.

Postulate Mechanics clarifies Newton’s Laws of motion by explicitly stating that a natural state of equilibrium exists between inertia and motion. 

When the motive force, currently impressed, is removed, the intrinsic motion of a particle, or a quantum, is restored.

We thus have a measure of absolute motion in terms of inertia.

.

Inertia and Gravity

Inertia keeps the intrinsic motion of a body in equilibrium with its mass. Similarly, gravity keeps the intrinsic motions of bodies in equilibrium with their masses in a system.

The Moon revolves around the Earth, the Earth revolves around the Sun. There are other moons revolving around their planets, and other planets revolving around the Sun.  All these bodies in the solar system move along their paths in perfect equilibrium. Such an equilibrium is dynamic in the sense that it continually adjusts to changing conditions. This is gravity at work.

The body in the system with greatest mass shall have the greatest centeredness in space. Other bodies shall move relative to it according to their lesser masses, or centeredness. The bodies maintain their individual paths. Any deviation from the paths immediately gives rise to gravitational forces that restore the bodies back to their paths.

.

Earth’s Gravity

The objects on earth want to revolve around the earth, but their equilibrium path is less than the radius of the earth. So, they are pushed against the earth. It is actually a movement that is restrained, which gives us our weight. This is not like some force of attraction.

If a body is massive enough to have its equilibrium path just greater than the radius of the earth, then it would appear to levitate above the surface of earth.

.

Postulate Mechanics

Postulate Mechanics does not see gravity some force of attraction. Instead, it sees gravity as the natural tendency of a system to dynamically arrange itself such that there is an equilibrium among the masses and motions at all times.

Gravitational forces may arise only to restore the harmony of the system when it is disturbed.

Thus, we see the manifestation of gravity in the dynamic configurations of the galaxies, stars, planets, etc.

Observations and Comments

May 3, 2026
The physical universe evolves into a chemical universe, which then evolves into a biological universe. Thus, there are life organisms. In life organisms, the body evolves first. It then develops a mind. Then mind then starts to evolve to higher and higher levels. The spirit forms the core of that mind. Spirit-mind-body is a single system. These three aspects of a human being do not detach from each other in reality.

  1. At the core of life are postulates.
  2. Life then reacts to its own postulates.
  3. From such reaction proceeds reasoning.
  4. The ideal scene of reasoning is harmony.
  5. Thus we have the elements of the mind.

  1. An entity is made of substance that has extents (space) and duration (time). 
  2. Within that space-time there is motion, inertia and equilibrium (gravity).
  3. Thus we have the elements of controlled pulsation. 
  4. This pulsation energizes the laws of nature.
  5. Thus we have the elements of life.
