KHTK Factor # 1-4: And thus there is oneness.

If a postulate does not reduce our confusion we discard it and make a new postulate. We do this until we have a postulate that best reduces our confusion and explains what is there.

Thus, the initial postulate must represent everything unknowable under one umbrella. Subsequent postulates then fill in the details of the initial postulate. All that is known becomes part of one consistent whole. This gives us the principle of oneness as follows:

All that is known is continuous, consistent and harmonious.

Oneness does not imply sameness. For example, all values on a scale are different from one another, yet they are continuous, consistent and harmonious.

To be real, all postulates must be part of one consistent whole per the principle of oneness.

Scientology

In Scientology, there is no concept of oneness as described above. Instead, the Cause in Scientology refers to multiple causes, called thetans, that are thought to be independent of each other. See KHTK Factor # 1.

Logic

The principle of oneness provides the criterion for the soundness of reasoning. An example of this is the scientific method.

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 confirmed 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.
