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
As viruses and cells aggregate they evolve into higher life organisms and acquire greater abilities. “Life” is the coordinated motion of complex configurations of substance. The center of such coordination of motion develops into a mind.
The mind confuses present circumstances with past experiences that did not get assimilated. This presents anomalies. The purpose of the mind becomes the resolution of anomalies by assimilating sensations from the past in the present. Failure to do so can lead to the extinction of the life organism.
An organism evolves by resolving anomalies on various dynamics. It makes effort to resolve anomalies by the support of pro-survival factors present. Such pro-survival factors include the ecosystems formed by life organisms.

Axioms 46-60
THETA = Life Static
PHI or MEST = The Physical Universe
LAMBDA = Living organism or organisms
DN AXIOM 46: Colonial aggregations of viruses and cells can be imbued with more THETA than they inherently contained.
Life energy joins any group, whether a group of organisms or group of cells composing an organism. Here we have personal entity, individuation, etc.
DN AXIOM 47: Effort can be accomplished by LAMBDA only through the coordination of its parts toward goals.
DN AXIOM 48: An organism is equipped to be governed and controlled by a mind.
DN AXIOM 49: The purpose of the mind is to pose and resolve problems relating to survival and to direct the effort of the organism according to these solutions.
DN AXIOM 50: All problems are posed and resolved through estimations of effort.
.
PM AXIOM 46: Colonial aggregations of viruses and cells acquire more complex self-animation and abilities.
PM AXIOM 47: Life organisms coordinate the motion of their parts towards the accomplishment of their goals.
PM AXIOM 48: An organism evolves a mind to govern and control its activities.
PM AXIOM 49: The purpose of the mind is to perceive and resolve the anomalies and direct the actions of the organism accordingly.
PM AXIOM 50: All anomalies are resolved by looking at them more closely.
.
DN AXIOM 51: The mind can confuse position in space with position in time. (Counter-efforts producing action phrases.)
DN AXIOM 52: An organism proceeding toward survival is directed by the mind of that organism in the accomplishment of survival effort.
DN AXIOM 53: An organism proceeding toward succumb is directed by the mind of that organism in the accomplishment of death.
DN AXIOM 54: Survival of an organism is accomplished by the overcoming of efforts opposing its survival.
(Note: Corollary for other dynamics.)
DN AXIOM 55: Survival effort for an organism includes the dynamic thrust by that organism for the survival of itself, its procreation, its group, its subspecies, its species, all life organisms, material universe, the life static and, possibly, a Supreme Being.
(Note: List of dynamics.)
.
PM AXIOM 51: The mind can confuse present circumstances with past unassimilated experiences.
PM AXIOM 52: An organism that is able to resolve such anomalies gains higher abilities.
PM AXIOM 53: An organism that is unable to resolve anomalies degenerates towards death.
PM AXIOM 54: An organism evolves by resolving anomalies on various dynamics.
PM AXIOM 55: These dynamics are the organism itself, its procreation, its group, its subspecies, its species, all life organisms, material universe, and the understanding of it all.
.
DN AXIOM 56: The cycle of an organism, a group of organisms or a species is inception, growth, re-creation, decay and death.
DN AXIOM 57: The effort of an organism is directed toward the control of the environment for all the dynamics.
DN AXIOM 58: Control of an environment is accomplished by the support of pro-survival factors along any dynamic.
DN AXIOM 59: Any type of higher organism is accomplished by the evolution of viruses and cells into forms capable of better efforts to control or live in an environment.
DN AXIOM 60: The usefulness of an organism is determined by its ability to control the environment or to support organisms which control the environment.
.
PM AXIOM 56: All dynamics in the universe go through the cycle of inception, growth, re-creation, decay and death.
PM AXIOM 57: The effort of an organism is directed toward the resolution of anomalies on all the dynamics.
PM AXIOM 58: Resolution of anomalies along any dynamic is accomplished by operating in harmony with the factors involved.
PM AXIOM 59: Any type of higher organism is accomplished by the evolution of viruses and cells into forms capable of resolving the anomalies more efficiently.
PM AXIOM 60: The usefulness of an organism is determined by its ability to resolve anomalies or to support organisms which resolve the anomalies.
