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 introduction of an arbitrary factor or force brings about considerable disharmony to existence. It violates the ONENESS of awareness. The component parts of ONENESS are continuity, consistency and harmony.
Self-determinism consists of motion towards maximal continuity, consistency and harmony. A self-determined effort proceeds from assimilated sensations, and its natural drive is to establish greater ONENESS.
An organism cannot become aberrated unless its oneness is violated. This happens when the organism is connected with a source that is generating discontinuity, inconsistency and disharmony.

Axioms 106-120
DN AXIOM 106: The introduction of an arbitrary factor or force without recourse to natural laws of the body or the area into which the arbitrary is introduced brings about plus or minus randomity.
An arbitrary factor or force is one that does not fit the context. Therefore, it cannot be assimilated into oneness along with surrounding factors or forces. Natural laws arise from oneness of assimilation. Anything that conflicts with these natural laws brings about disharmony and unpredictability.
PM AXIOM 106: The introduction of an arbitrary factor or force without recourse to natural laws of the body or the area into which the arbitrary is introduced brings about plus or minus randomity.
.
DN AXIOM 107: Data of plus or minus randomity depends for its confusion on former plus or minus randomity or absent data.
If a randomity or misalignment cannot be resolved, then the source of that difficulty is some earlier randomity that is missing from view and is arbitrary.
PM AXIOM 107: Data of plus or minus randomity depends for its confusion on former plus or minus randomity or absent data.
.
DN AXIOM 108: Efforts which are inhibited or compelled by exterior efforts effect a plus or minus randomity of efforts.
If an organism’s efforts are inhibited or compelled by external efforts, then that will generate more randomity or misalignment of efforts, because the assimilation into oneness is missing.
PM AXIOM 108: Efforts which are inhibited or compelled by exterior efforts effect a plus or minus randomity of efforts.
.
DN AXIOM 109: Behavior is modified by counter-efforts which have impinged on the organism.
Counter-efforts impinge on the organism in the form of sensations. These sensation may or may not be fully assimilated. Reactions come from unassimilated sensations; whereas, learned analytical behavior comes from assimilated sensations. In either case the behavior of the organism is modified.
PM AXIOM 109: Behavior is modified by counter-efforts which have impinged on the organism.
.
DN AXIOM 110: The component parts of THETA are affinity, reality and communication.
THETA is essentially the awareness of what is there, and the natural tendency of this awareness is to see ONENESS in what is there. This Oneness consists of continuity, consistency and harmony. Affinity is the seeking of continuity; reality is the seeking of consistency; and communication is the seeking of harmony.
PM AXIOM 110: The component parts of ONENESS are continuity, consistency and harmony.
.
DN AXIOM 111: Self-determinism consists of maximal affinity, reality and communication.
Self-determinism is the natural tendency to establish Oneness, which brings about evolution. There is tendency toward maximal continuity, consistency and harmony.
PM AXIOM 111: Self-determinism consists of a tendency toward maximal continuity, consistency and harmony.
.
DN AXIOM 112: Affinity is the cohesion of THETA.
Affinity manifests itself as the recognition of similarity of efforts and goals amongst organisms by those organisms.
Affinity is the continuity of awareness of THETA.
PM AXIOM 112: Affinity is the seeking of continuity of awareness.
.
DN AXIOM 113: Reality is the agreement upon perceptions and data in the physical universe.
All that we can be sure is real is that on which we have agreed is real.
Agreement is the essence of reality.
It is not agreement but consistency throughout the universe that makes it real.
PM AXIOM 113: Reality is the seeking of consistency of perception and data.
.
DN AXIOM 114: Communication is the interchange of perception through the material universe between organisms or the perception of the material universe by sense channels.
PM AXIOM 114: Communication is the seeking of harmony among all organisms.
.
DN AXIOM 115: Self-determinism is the THETA control of the organism.
PM AXIOM 115: Self-determinism is the inherent drive to establish the continuity, consistency and harmony of Oneness.
.
DN AXIOM 116: A self-determined effort is that counter-effort which has been received into the organism in the past and integrated into the organism for its conscious use.
PM AXIOM 116: A self-determined effort proceeds from assimilated sensations.
.
DN AXIOM 117: The components of self-determinism are affinity, communication and reality.
Self-determinism is manifested along each dynamic.
PM AXIOM 117: The components of self-determinism are continuity, consistency and harmony.
.
DN AXIOM 118: An organism cannot become aberrated unless it has agreed upon that aberration, has been in communication with a source of aberration and has had affinity for the aberrator.
The organism does not have arbitrary will. It is discontinuity, inconsistency and disharmony of sensations that generates aberration within it.
PM AXIOM 118: An organism cannot become aberrated unless discontinuity, inconsistency and disharmony is generated within it.
.
DN AXIOM 119: Agreement with any source, contra- or prosurvival, postulates a new reality for the organism.
Agreement really means becoming aligned with something. That something may not be consistent with the natural laws.
PM AXIOM 119: Alignment with any source makes the organism have the same reality as that source.
.
DN AXIOM 120: Nonsurvival courses, thoughts and actions require nonoptimum effort.
PM AXIOM 120: To think, act or continue on a non-survival course means there is considerable misalignment generating non-optimum effort.
