Reference: A Course on the Factors
KHTK Factor # 12: To know the Unknowable, the viewpoints focus on oneness of knowledge. This clarifies the data, and orients the viewpoints. Thus comes about continuity, consistency and harmony of viewpoints.
The whole thrust is to know the Unknowable. This requires some discipline and a criterion. For example, one must follow the trail of what one does not understand.
What one knows, becomes a part of one’s background and the basis from which to know more. This points to the oneness of knowledge.
This is conformed by the fact that religions point to oneness of God. The etymology of the word UNIVERSE also points to the oneness of reality.
In the scientific method, truth is verified through consistency of observations.
Thus we end up with the criterion of continuity, consistency and harmony of understanding, of knowledge, and of the integration of reality.
Any violation of the integrity of reality, such as, discontinuity (missing data), inconsistency (contradictory data), or disharmony (arbitrary data) is then perceived as an anomaly to be resolved.

Scientology
Compare the above to the following factor in Scientology.
Scientology Factor # 12. The dimension point can be moved by the viewpoint, for the viewpoint, in addition to creative ability and consideration, possesses volition and potential independence of action; and the viewpoint, viewing dimension points, can change in relation to its own or other dimension points or viewpoints. Thus comes about all the fundamentals there are to motion.
According to the Scientology Factors, the purpose is creation of effect. There is motion when a dimension point is moved, and the viewpoint changes in relation to it. But if there is no higher purpose that the creation of effect, such motion is arbitrary. This is an anomaly.

Logic
Here we have the ultimate basis of logic:
- The goal is to know.
- There is oneness of knowledge.
- Thus, there is the criterion of continuity, consistency and harmony of data.
