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
An organism is as healthy and sane as it is able to assimilate sensations in real time. All learning is accomplished by making appropriate postulates to resolve anomalies. Natural laws are learned by life energy only by sensing the randomity of the environment and assimilating it.
Space and time index is a natural part of the content of sensations, which cannot be known until assimilated. An unassimilated sensation when restimulated exerts its force without regard to space and time.

Axioms 136-150
DN AXIOM 136: The mind is plastically capable of recording all efforts and counter-efforts.
The sensations may enter the mind as recordings; but the effort of the mind is to assimilate these sensations into a matrix of finer and finer elements. The counter-effort create randomity to be assimilated.
PM AXIOM 136: The mind receives sensations and retains them as recordings until they are assimilated.
.
DN AXIOM 137: A counter-effort accompanied by sufficient (enrandomed) force impresses the facsimile of the counter-effort personality into the mind of an organism.
The sensation of the counter-effort received in the mind has its own personality that may force itself upon the organism until it is assimilated.
PM AXIOM 137: The sensation of a counter-effort impresses its own personality into the mind of an organism until it is assimilated.
.
DN AXIOM 138: Aberration is the degree of residual plus or minus randomity accumulated by compelling, inhibiting or unwarranted assisting of efforts on the part of other organisms or the physical (material) universe.
Aberration is caused by what is done to the individual, not what the individual does, plus his self-determinism about what has been done to him.
Other organisms and the physical universe are part of the environment. The counter-efforts from the environment cause plus and minus randomity that generates misalignments in the efforts of the organism. These misalignments are the aberrations displayed by the organism. The self-determinism of the organism attempts to assimilate the randomity to resolve its aberrations.
PM AXIOM 138: Aberrations in the organism are caused by the randomity impressed upon by the environment that could not be assimilated.
.
DN AXIOM 139: Aberrated behavior consists of destructive effort toward prosurvival data or entities on any dynamic, or effort toward the survival of contrasurvival data or entities for any dynamic.
Aberrated behavior is not targeting anybody or anything. It is simply irrational and disorderly in itself.
PM AXIOM 139: Aberrated behavior consists of irrational and disorderly conduct on any dynamic.
.
DN AXIOM 140: A valence is a facsimile personality made capable of force by the counter-effort of the moment of receipt into the plus or minus randomity of unconsciousness.
A valence is the coherence among the sensations of counter-efforts. They appear as a “personality” that does not align with the personality of the organism. The personality of the mental matrix is aligned with the natural laws, but a valence is not. The surrounding universal matrix represents those natural laws.
PM AXIOM 140: A valence is the coherence among the unassimilated sensations of counter-efforts, that is enforced upon the organism as an alternate “personality.”
.
DN AXIOM 141: A control center effort is aligned toward a goal through definite space as a recognized incident in time.
The mental matrix forms the control center of the organism. It operates optimally when in sync with the natural laws. Its primary goal is to evolve by resolving anomalies as it comes across them.
PM AXIOM 141: The mental matrix operates in sync with natural laws to resolve anomalies and facilitate evolution.
.
DN AXIOM 142: An organism is as healthy and sane as it is self-determined.
The environmental control of the organism motor controls inhibits the organism’s ability to change with the changing environment, since the organism will attempt to carry forward with one set of responses when it needs by self-determinism to create another to survive in another environment.
Everything operates according to the laws of nature. The environment seems to control the organism only when the organism is unable to assimilate the effects of the environment.
PM AXIOM 142: An organism is as healthy and sane as it is able to assimilate sensations in real time.
.
DN AXIOM 143: All learning is accomplished by random effort.
Postulates are used to define the unknowable. Consistency is then sought among the postulates to enlarge the knowingness. This gives birth to natural laws. The effort then becomes to apply and further refine the natural laws. Any random effort is in the form of new postulates.
PM AXIOM 143: All learning is accomplished by making appropriate postulates to resolve anomalies.
.
DN AXIOM 144: A counter-effort producing sufficient plus or minus randomity to record is recorded with an index of space and time as hidden as the remainder of its content.
Anything not assimilated in the mental matrix will appear to be hidden. “Recording” exists only in the form of unassimilated traumatic sensations. Space and time index is a natural part of the content of sensations that are waiting to be assimilated.
PM AXIOM 144: Space and time index is a natural part of the content of sensations, which cannot be known until assimilated.
.
DN AXIOM 145: A counter-effort producing sufficient plus or minus randomity when activated by re-stimulation exerts itself against the environment or the organism without regard to space and time, except reactivated perceptions.
A counter-effort producing sufficient plus or minus randomity is actually the traumatic sensation that did not get assimilated. Therefore, when activated, it generates the same counter-efforts as were originally felt by the organism, without regard to space and time.
PM AXIOM 145: An unassimilated sensation when restimulated exerts its force without regard to space and time.
.
DN AXIOM 146: Counter-efforts are directed out from the organism until they are further enrandomed by the environ at which time they again activate against the control center.
Restimulation of counter-efforts makes the organism behave so as to act out those counter-efforts, even when the environment is now different. So, additional misalignments come about that the control center must handle. But any effort to do so turns those counter-efforts against the control center of the organism.
PM AXIOM 146: When the organism dramatizes counter-efforts, the present environment being different, acts back against the organism.
.
DN AXIOM 147: An organism’s mind employs counter-efforts effectively only so long as insufficient plus or minus randomity exists to hide differentiation of the facsimiles created.
The counter-efforts when assimilated can be employed by the organism effectively.
PM AXIOM 147: An organism’s mind employs counter-efforts effectively only so long as it is able to assimilate them.
.
DN AXIOM 148: Physical laws are learned by life energy only by impingement of the physical universe producing randomity, and a withdrawal from that impingement.
The laws of the universe are learned when anomalies are properly recognized and resolved.
PM AXIOM 148: Natural laws are learned by life energy only by sensing the randomity of the environment and assimilating it.
.
DN AXIOM 149: Life depends upon an alignment of force vectors in the direction of survival and the nullification of force vectors in the direction of succumb in order to survive.
COROLLARY: Life depends upon an alignment of force vectors in the direction of succumb and the nullification of force vectors in the direction of survive in order to succumb.
The ultimate goal is evolution. Survive and succumb depends upon whether the organism is able to resolve anomalies or not.
PM AXIOM 149: Life depends upon the assimilation of what it senses. When it does so it evolves. When it fails to do so it becomes extinct.
.
DN AXIOM 150: Any area of randomity gathers to it situations similar to it which do not contain actual efforts but only perceptions.
An area of randomity is an area of misalignment and confusion. It gathers to it similar perceptions by association.
PM AXIOM 150: Any area of randomity gathers to it situations similar to it which do not contain actual efforts but only perceptions.
