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

The higher life organisms are supported by lower ones. Together they bring changes in the environment and to themselves toward greater oneness. This requires a harmonious rate of interaction.

The basic purpose of reason is to resolve violations of oneness in perception and understanding. These violations are anomalies, such as, discontinuities, inconsistencies, and disharmonies. The mind is the command post of the organism. It is concerned wholly with the resolution of anomalies.

The reason fails when it is fixated on (identified with) some aspect of the universe and fails to recognize anomalies. Rightness is made up of efforts that lead towards oneness.

Axioms 16-30

THETA = Life Static
PHI or MEST = The Physical Universe
LAMBDA = Living organism or organisms

DN AXIOM 16: The basic food of any organism consists of light and chemicals.
Organisms can exist only as higher levels of complexities because lower levels of converters exist. THETA evolves organisms from lower to higher forms and supports them by the existence of lower converter forms.

DN AXIOM 17: THETA, via LAMBDA, effects an evolution of MEST.
In this we have the waste products of organisms on the one hand as those very complex chemicals which bacteria make and, on the other hand, we have the physical face of the Earth being changed by animals and men, such changes as grass holding mountains from eroding or roots causing boulders to break, buildings being built and rivers being dammed. There is obviously an evolution in MEST in progress under the incursion of THETA.

DN AXIOM 18: LAMBDA, even within a species, varies in its endowment of THETA.

DN AXIOM 19: The effort of LAMBDA is toward survival. The goal of LAMBDA is survival. The penalty of failure to advance toward that goal is to succumb.
DEFINITION: Persistence is the ability to exert continuance of effort toward survival goals.

DN AXIOM 20: LAMBDA creates, conserves, maintains, requires, destroys, changes, occupies, groups and disperses MEST.
LAMBDA survives by animating and mobilizing or destroying matter and energy in space and time.

.

PM AXIOM 16: The lowest level organisms evolves from light and chemicals. 

PM AXIOM 17: Life organisms bring change to the environment on a large scale.

PM AXIOM 18: Life organisms, even within a species, vary in their inherent motion and capabilities.

PM AXIOM 19: Life organisms make an effort to survive better as part of their evolution. Failure makes them succumb rapidly.

PM AXIOM 20: The life organism evolves by interacting with its environment in various ways.

.

DN AXIOM 21: LAMBDA is dependent upon optimum motion. Motion which is too swift and motion which is too slow are equally contra survival.

DN AXIOM 22: THETA and thought are similar orders of static.

DN AXIOM 23: All thought is concerned with motion.

DN AXIOM 24: The establishment of an optimum motion is a basic goal of reason.
DEFINITION: LAMBDA is a chemical heat engine existing in space and time motivated by the life static and directed by thought.

DN AXIOM 25: The basic purpose of reason is the calculation or estimation of effort.

.

PM AXIOM 21: The survival of life organism depends upon a harmonious rate of interaction.

PM AXIOM 22: Thought is the basic substance of what is being viewed.

PM AXIOM 23: Thought is very dynamic in nature.

PM AXIOM 24: Thought proceeds harmoniously from postulates as reason to direct the life organism.

PM AXIOM 25: The basic purpose of reason is to resolve disharmony in what is being viewed.

.

DN AXIOM 26: Thought is accomplished by THETA FACSIMILES of physical universe, entities or actions.

DN AXIOM 27: THETA is satisfied only with harmonious action or optimum motion and rejects or destroys action or motion above or below its tolerance band.

DN AXIOM 28: The mind is concerned wholly with the estimation of effort.
DEFINITION: Mind is the THETA command post of any organism or organisms.

DN AXIOM 29: The basic errors of reason are failure to differentiate amongst matter, energy, space and time.

DN AXIOM 30: Rightness is proper calculation of effort.

.

PM AXIOM 26: Thought is accomplished when the observed disharmony is resolved.

PM AXIOM 27: Ideal scene is attained when all that is observed is harmonious, consistent and continuous.

PM AXIOM 28: Reason is the function of the mind, which acts as the command post of the organism.

PM AXIOM 29: The reason fails when it fails to spot and resolve anomalies.

PM AXIOM 30: Rightness is increase in harmony.
