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.

Executive Summary 2025
Every thought is preceded by unknowable sensation. Thought is used to give meaning to sensations and make all those meanings consistent with each other. This is called assimilation of sensations into perceptions.
Assimilation produces optimum motion. Loss of optimum motion appears as pain. All effort of the organism is directed toward converting randomity of motion into optimum motion. The control center of the organism represents optimized motion.
When the control center is overwhelmed by randomity, it becomes unconscious. Randomity that overcomes the control center may appear as an alternative personality. The organism is unaware of such alternative personality.

Axioms 121-135
RANDOMITY = departure from optimum motion
OPTIMUM RANDOMITY = required for evolution
PLUS OR MINUS RANDOMITY = a complex anomaly
THETA FACSIMILES = Past unassimilated sensations
DN AXIOM 121: Every thought has been preceded by physical action.
DN AXIOM 122: The mind does with thought as it has done with entities in the physical universe.
DN AXIOM 123: All effort concerned with pain is concerned with loss.
Organisms hold pain and engrams to them as a latent effort to prevent loss of some portion of the organism. All loss is a loss of motion.
DN AXIOM 124: The amount of counter-effort the organism can overcome is proportional to the THETA endowment of the organism, modified by the physique of that organism.
DN AXIOM 125: Excessive counter-effort to the effort of a life organism produces unconsciousness.
COROLLARY: Unconsciousness gives the suppression of an organism’s control center by counter-effort.
DEFINITION: The control center of the organism can be defined as the contact point between THETA and the physical universe and is that center which is aware of being aware and which has charge of and responsibility for the organism along all its dynamics.
.
PM AXIOM 121: Thought arises whenever there is something not known.
PM AXIOM 122: The mind applies thought to assimilate the unknown sensations received.
PM AXIOM 123: All effort concerned with pain is concerned with loss.
NOTE: Sensations of high intensity are felt as pain. These are part of engrams. They are difficult to assimilate. They are held by the organism to compensate for some loss.
PM AXIOM 124: The amount of counter-effort the organism can overcome is proportional to the assimilation of its form and physique.
PM AXIOM 125: Excessive counter-effort to the effort of a life organism produces unconsciousness.
NOTE: The dynamic resultant of assimilation acts as the control center of the organism. It is suppressed into unconsciousness in the presence of excessive counter-effort.
.
DN AXIOM 126: Perceptions are always received in the control center of an organism whether the control center is in control of the organism at the time or not.
This is an explanation for the assumption of valences.
DN AXIOM 127: All perceptions reaching the organism’s sense channels are recorded and stored by THETA FACSIMILE.
DEFINITION: Perception is the process of recording data from the physical universe and storing it as a THETA FACSIMILE.
DEFINITION: Recall is the process of regaining perceptions.
DN AXIOM 128: Any organism can recall everything which it has perceived.
DN AXIOM 129: An organism displaced by plus or minus randomity is thereafter remote from the perception recording center.
Increased remoteness brings about occlusions of perceptions. One can perceive things in present time and then, because they are being recorded after they passed THETA perception of the awareness unit, they are recorded but cannot be recalled.
DN AXIOM 130: THETA FACSIMILES of counter-effort are all that interpose between the control center and its recalls.
.
PM AXIOM 126: Unassimilated sensations can take over the organism’s control center altering it greatly.
NOTE: Person’s consciousness also gets altered without awareness of that alteration.
PM AXIOM 127: The sensations get assimilated into perceptions and stored as memory. But unassimilated sensations get stored as recordings that are not available as memory.
PM AXIOM 128: Then organism can recall only the assimilated data. Unassimilated sensations must be assimilated before they can be recalled.
PM AXIOM 129: An organism confronted with too many anomalies has lot unassimilated sensations that it is unable to perceive.
PM AXIOM 130: Lack of assimilation is all that is interposed between the control center and its recalls.
.
DN AXIOM 131: Any counter-effort received into a control center is always accompanied by all perceptics.
DN AXIOM 132: The random counter-efforts to an organism and the intermingled perceptions in the randomity can re-exert that force upon an organism when restimulated.
DEFINITION: Restimulation is the reactivation of a past counter-effort by appearance in the organism’s environment of a similarity toward the content of the past randomity area.
DN AXIOM 133: Self-determinism alone brings about the mechanism of restimulation.
DN AXIOM 134: A reactivated area of the past randomity impinges the effort and the perceptions upon the organism.
DN AXIOM 135: Activation of a randomity area is accomplished first by the perceptions, then by the pain, finally by the effort.
.
PM AXIOM 131: Any counter-effort is received into a control center as a package of sensations to be assimilated.
PM AXIOM 132: Unassimilated sensations can re-exert their force upon an organism when activated by the receipt of similar sensations.
PM AXIOM 133: Self-determinism’s attempt to assimilate sensations brings about the mechanism of restimulation.
PM AXIOM 134: Unassimilated sensations when reactivated impinge the effort and the perceptions upon the organism.
PM AXIOM 135: Activation of unassimilated sensations is accomplished first by the perceptions, then by the pain, finally by the effort.
