Logic has to do with how you argue or reason to reach correct or reliable inference. It follows certain principles to reach sound conclusions.

Definition of LOGIC

Logic means the art and method of correct thinking. Logic is applied to get a complete picture of a situation. Logic, therefore, seeks the ideal scene of oneness of knowledge. Any departure from this ideal scene is called an anomaly. 

The anomalies take the form of discontinuity (missing data), inconsistency (contradictory data), or disharmony (arbitrary data). To handle missing data, logic postulates a datum that brings oneness to the existing data. To handle contradictory data, logic determines the gradient of data that clarifies the contradiction. To handle arbitrary data logic discovers the underlying fixation or identification.

The logic, therefore, examines data for its associations. These associations are logical when the data can be assimilated into a consistent whole.

Logic is best applied by starting broad. This allows one to become aware of the broad anomalies. These anomalies then guide one towards more specific anomalies. This narrowing down to specifics finally reveals the key anomaly that underlies the whole situation. Resolving this anomaly then resolves the situation. 

The mind must have a flexible viewpoint that can follow the course of logic. When fixations come to view in the viewpoint itself, then they must also be examined and resolved.

Notes

Logic provides the mechanics of completing a picture. It involves:

(1) Perceive correctly (see things as they are)
(2) Make postulates to fill the gaps (find oneness)
(3) Arrange concepts from broad to narrow
(4) Formulate precise definitions for concepts
(5) Examine phenomena using precise definitions
(6) Resolve anomalies in what is observed

We sense the universe and describe it using concepts that can be arranged on a scale from broad to narrow. Realism and nominalism describe the two ends of this scale. The more precisely the definitions fit together into oneness, the more objectivity they provide. The workability of Aristotle’s syllogism depends on the major premise being broad enough to fully include the minor premise.

Hubbard’s logic is based on the assumption that a being is eternal and he is trying to survive. This is an anomaly because something eternal does not need to survive. Resolution of this anomaly leads to the discovery of Hubbards fixation on individuality, which is an identification and reduces awareness. 

Hubbard’s logic, as described in the Data Series, is brilliant, but it does not include the ideal scene of oneness. The outpoints described in Data Series may be related to anomalies as follows:

1. Omit a fact (discontinuity)
2. Change sequence of events (inconsistency)
3. Drop out time (discontinuity)
4. Add a falsehood (inconsistency and disharmony)
5. Alter importance  (disharmony)

Key Misconception

The key misconception in the subject of Logic is that we do not have a good idea of the ideal scene of logic. Logic exists to provide the complete awareness of what is there. The ideal scene of logic is given by the Principle of Oneness.
