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 engram is a severe area of plus or minus randomity that distorts related perceptions. When activated in sufficient volume it can even cause unconsciousness. Past engrams are restimulated by the perception of similar circumstances in the present environment.

Free emotional response depends on optimum motion. Presence of engrams fix emotional responses. These may become part of symbols of a language. Language depends for its force upon the force which accompanied its definition. It can influence one’s thinking.

Intelligence depends on the ability to observe anomalies in an area of randomity and follow them up until they are resolved. The mind realizes its goals by persistently resolving anomalies and putting solutions into physical action.

Axioms 91-105

DN AXIOM 91: Past randomity can impose itself upon the present organism as THETA FACSIMILES.

Past randomity exists in the form of sensations that are waiting to be assimilated in the mental matrix. The organism is not aware of these sensations because they are not assimilated. These unassimilated sensations can distort the surrounding perceptions and cause aberrations.

PM AXIOM 91: Past randomity embedded in the mental matrix, when activated, can distort related perceptions.

.

DN AXIOM 92: The engram is a severe area of plus or minus randomity of sufficient volume to cause unconsciousness.

Engrams are heavy unassimilated sensations. When a mental circuit connected to them gets activated, it causes unconsciousness (no perception). 

PM AXIOM 92: The engram is a severe area of plus or minus randomity of sufficient volume to cause unconsciousness.

.

DN AXIOM 93: Unconsciousness is an excess of randomity imposed by a counter-effort of sufficient force to cloud the awareness and direct function of the organism through the mind’s control center.

PM AXIOM 93: Unconsciousness is the clouding of awareness and direct function of the organism under the imposition of excess randomity.

.

DN AXIOM 94: Any counter-effort which misaligns the organism’s command of itself or its environment establishes plus or minus randomity or, if of sufficient magnitude, is an engram.

The organism commands itself through the assimilated mental matrix. Any counter-effort exists as a fixed pattern of sensations that is not assimilated in this mental matrix. It interrupts the organism’s command of itself. When this unassimilated fixed pattern of sensations is of sufficient magnitude it is an engram.

PM AXIOM 94: Any counter-effort, which misaligns the organism’s command of itself or its environment, establishes plus or minus randomity or, if of sufficient magnitude, is an engram.

.

DN AXIOM 95: Past engrams are restimulated by the control center’s perception of circumstances similar to that engram in the present environment.

When sensations that are similar to past unassimilated sensations embedded in the mental matrix arrive, then they all get hooked up together and become activated. This is restimulation.

PM AXIOM 95: Past engrams are restimulated by the control center’s perception of circumstances similar to that engram in the present environment.

.

DN AXIOM 96: An engram is a THETA FACSIMILE of atoms and molecules in misalignment.

“Theta facsimile” is the term used by Hubbard for unassimilated sensations embedded in the mental matrix. In an engram, these sensations are so misaligned that that they cannot be assimilated in the mental matrix without special effort.

PM AXIOM 96: An engram is made up of unassimilated sensations in severe misalignment.

.

DN AXIOM 97: Engrams fix emotional response as that emotional response of the organism during the receipt of the counter-effort.

The organism’s response to the counter-effort becomes part of the engram that is formed.  The engram, when restimulated, plays back that fixed emotional response because they are not yet assimilated in the mental matrix.

PM AXIOM 97: Engrams fix emotional response as that emotional response of the organism during the receipt of the sensation.

.

DN AXIOM 98: Free emotional response depends on optimum randomity. It depends upon absence of or non-restimulation of engrams.

All sensations containing optimum motion are processed with full awareness by an assimilated mental matrix. Such response are emotionally free. This is also the case when engrams in circuits are not activated.

PM AXIOM 98: Free emotional response depends on optimum motion. It depends upon absence of or non-restimulation of engrams.

.

DN AXIOM 99: THETA FACSIMILES can recombine into new symbols.

“Theta facsimile” are unassimilated sensations embedded in the mental matrix. These sensations with partial assimilation may be treated as new symbols.

DN AXIOM 99: Partially assimilated sensations can recombine into new symbols.

.

DN AXIOM 100: Language is the symbolization of effort.

PM AXIOM 100: Language is the symbolization of effort.

.

DN AXIOM 101: Language depends for its force upon the force which accompanied its definition.

(Note: Counter-effort, not language, is aberrative.)

This encourages one to look deeply at, and meditate on, the words, especially those used in the dramatization of engrams.

PM AXIOM 101: Language depends for its force upon the force which accompanied its definition.

.

DN AXIOM 102: The environment can occlude the central control of any organism and assume control of the motor controls of that organism.

(Engram, restimulation, locks, hypnotism.)

The environment can take control of an organism through an engram. When the engram is restimulated its circuit controls the organism. Since the engram is not assimilated in the mental matrix (the control center of the organism), the organism’s awareness is bypassed. The organism can helplessly watch itself being controlled by some mysterious source. Hypnotism operates in this way.

PM AXIOM 102: The environment can occlude the central control of any organism and assume control of the motor controls of that organism.

.

DN AXIOM 103: Intelligence depends on the ability to select aligned or misaligned data from an area of randomity and so discover a solution to reduce all randomity in that area.

Something that appears to be aligned within a local context could actually be misaligned within a larger context. Such misalignments may be reduced to anomalies of discontinuity, inconsistency or disharmony. Intelligence lies in spotting and following up anomalies until they are resolved.

PM AXIOM 103: Intelligence depends on the ability to observe anomalies in an area of randomity and follow them up until they are resolved.

.

DN AXIOM 104: Persistence obtains in the ability of the mind to put solutions into physical action toward the realization of goals.

The overall goal, of course, is evolution. The mind achieves this goal by persisting to resolve anomalies and putting solutions into physical action.

PM AXIOM 104: The mind realizes its goals by persistently resolving anomalies and putting solutions into physical action.

.

DN AXIOM 105: An unknown datum can produce data of plus or minus randomity.

Omitted datum is the hardest one to spot in a situation because most people fill any gaps with arbitrary assumptions without being aware of such an action. This may bring about some alignment in a narrow context, but still be a misalignment in a larger context.

PM AXIOM 105: An unknown datum, when substituted by an arbitrary assumption, can produce anomalies in larger contexts.
