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.
In color are corresponding axioms as seen through Postulate Mechanics (PM).

Executive Summary 2025
The primary goal of life organisms is to accelerate the evolution of the universe. The process of evolution consists of continual resolution of anomalies.
The universe impinges on the organism as sensations. When assimilated into the matrix structure of the mind, these sensations appear as perceptions. A lack of assimilation distorts perception and generates anomalies.
The degree of lack of assimilation is referred to as RANDOMITY. It constitutes a departure from Oneness. Randomity manifests as too little or too much motion as opposed to optimum motion. Zero randomity is necessary to learning. There should be just the right effort to balance the counter-effort.

Axioms 61-75
DN AXIOM 61: An organism is rejected by THETA to the degree that it fails in its goals.
PM AXIOM 61: An organism becomes redundant to the degree it fails to evolve or support evolution.
.
DN AXIOM 62: Higher organisms can exist only in the degree that they are supported by the lower organisms.
PM AXIOM 62: Higher organisms can exist only to the degree they are supported by lower organisms.
.
DN AXIOM 63: The usefulness of an organism is determined by the alignment of its efforts toward survival.
PM AXIOM 63: The usefulness of an organism is determined by the alignment of its efforts toward evolution.
.
DN AXIOM 64: The mind perceives and stores all data of the environment and aligns or fails to align these according to the time they were perceived.
DEFINITION: A conclusion is the THETA FACSIMILES of a group of combined data.
DEFINITION: A datum is a THETA FACSIMILE of physical action.
All sensations received in the mind are assimilated in a mental matrix and get converted to perceptions. Any sensation that cannot be assimilated gets embedded as a recording waiting to be assimilated. Such unassimilated recordings gather to itself later similar sensations and a confusion results due to a lack of differentiation in terms of time. This distorts the perception, which is taken as the input data for making conclusions
PM AXIOM 64: The mind receives sensations from the environment and assimilates them or not according to how harmoniously they arrived.
.
DN AXIOM 65: The process of thought is the perception of the present and the comparison of it to the perceptions and conclusions of the past in order to direct action in the immediate or distant future.
COROLLARY: The attempt of thought is to perceive realities of the past and present in order to predict or postulate realities of the future.
Ideally, perception should be seeing things as they are. This immediately leads to correct conclusions and right action in the immediate or distant future. The present sensations are converted into perceptions when they are assimilated with experience from the past. If the past experience contains unassimilated sensations similar to those in the present, then those present sensations do not get assimilated. This distorts the perception in the present. As a result, any conclusions based on such perception become aberrated. Thus, the function of thought is to keep the experience and incoming sensation well assimilated. The process of thought is to assimilate the sensation fully, such that, all things are perceived as they are.
PM AXIOM 65: The process of thought is to assimilate the incoming sensation, such that, things are perceived as they are. When this happens then correct conclusions and right actions follow.
.
DN AXIOM 66: The process by which life effects its conquest of the material universe consists in the conversion of the potential effort of matter and energy in space and through time to effect with it the conversion of further matter and energy in space and through time.
PM AXIOM 66: The process by which life evolves consists of continual resolution of anomalies. This drives the configuration of substance, and its inherent motion, towards increasing complexity and sophistication.
.
DN AXIOM 67: THETA contains its own THETA UNIVERSE effort which translates into MEST effort.
The effort consists of the inherent motion of configuration of substance, where substance consist of thought, radiation and matter. THETA UNIVERSE apparently refers to the thought aspect of substance. As the configuration of substance condenses from thought to radiation to matter, so does its inherent motion.
PM AXIOM 67: The efforts first manifest as thoughts, and then evolve into physical efforts.
.
DN AXIOM 68: The single arbitrary in any organism is time.
PM AXIOM 68: The single arbitrary in any organism is that aspect, which does not fit, and produces disharmony.
.
DN AXIOM 69: Physical universe perceptions and efforts are received by an organism as force waves, convert by facsimile into THETA and are thus stored.
DEFINITION: Randomity is the misalignment through the internal or external efforts by other forms of life or the material universe of the efforts of an organism, and is imposed on the physical organism by counter-efforts in the environment.
The universe impinges on the organism as sensations. These sensations get assimilated into the mental matrix and get stored as that matrix structure. The matrix structure then generates the perceptions of the present and the past. Any lack of assimilation distorts this perception. This distortion is also visible as pain and discomfort. Effort needed to overcome this pain and discomfort provides a measure of the lack of assimilation, or randomity.
PM AXIOM 69: The universe impinges on the organism as sensations. When assimilated into the matrix structure of the mind, these sensations appear as perceptions. The degree of lack of assimilation is referred to as RANDOMITY. Randomity distorts perception.
.
DN AXIOM 70: Any cycle of any life organism is from static to motion to static.
PM AXIOM 70: The cycle of any life organism is from birth to life to death. There is awareness, which may or may not identify itself with that organism.
.
DN AXIOM 71: The cycle of randomity is from static, through optimum, through randomity sufficiently repetitious or similar to constitute another static.
PM AXIOM 71: Randomity is a departure from oneness that appears as continuity, consistency or harmony.
.
DN AXIOM 72: There are two subdivisions to randomity: data randomity and force randomity.
PM AXIOM 72: Randomity exists as misalignment in mental matrix as well as in the effort extended from it.
.
DN AXIOM 73: The three degrees of randomity consist of minus randomity, optimum randomity and plus randomity.
DEFINITION: Randomity is a component factor and necessary part of motion, if motion is to continue.
“Optimum randomity” actually refers to optimum motion with zero randomity.
PM AXIOM 73: Randomity manifests as too little or too much motion as opposed to optimum motion.
.
DN AXIOM 74: Optimum randomity is necessary to learning.
“Optimum randomity” actually refers to optimum motion with zero randomity.
PM AXIOM 74: Optimum motion is necessary to learning.
.
DN AXIOM 75: The important factors in any area of randomity are effort and counter-effort. (Note: As distinguished from near perceptions of effort.)
PM AXIOM 75: The important factor is just the right effort to balance the counter-effort.
