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 primary goal of life organisms is to accelerate the evolution of the universe. The process of evolution consists of continual resolution of anomalies.
The universe impinges on the organism as sensations. When assimilated into the matrix structure of the mind, these sensations appear as perceptions. A lack of assimilation distorts perception and generates anomalies.
The degree of lack of assimilation is referred to as RANDOMITY. It constitutes a departure from Oneness. Randomity manifests as too little or too much motion as opposed to optimum motion. Zero randomity is necessary to learning. There should be just the right effort to resolve the counter-effort.

Axioms 61-75
THETA = Life Static
PHI or MEST = The Physical Universe
LAMBDA = Living organism or organisms
DN AXIOM 61: An organism is rejected by THETA to the degree that it fails in its goals.
DN AXIOM 62: Higher organisms can exist only in the degree that they are supported by the lower organisms.
DN AXIOM 63: The usefulness of an organism is determined by the alignment of its efforts toward survival.
DN AXIOM 64: The mind perceives and stores all data of the environment and aligns or fails to align these according to the time they were perceived.
DEFINITION: A conclusion is the THETA FACSIMILES of a group of combined data.
DEFINITION: A datum is a THETA FACSIMILE of physical action.
DN AXIOM 65: The process of thought is the perception of the present and the comparison of it to the perceptions and conclusions of the past in order to direct action in the immediate or distant future.
COROLLARY: The attempt of thought is to perceive realities of the past and present in order to predict or postulate realities of the future.
.
PM AXIOM 61: An organism becomes redundant to the degree it fails to resolve anomalies.
PM AXIOM 62: Higher organisms can exist only to the degree they are supported by lower organisms.
PM AXIOM 63: The usefulness of an organism is determined by the alignment of its efforts toward resolving anomalies.
PM AXIOM 64: The mind assimilates sensations received from the environment by converting them into perceptions, memory and knowledge.
PM AXIOM 65: The process of thought is to assimilate the incoming sensations with one’s experience, so that correct conclusions and actions follow automatically.
.
DN AXIOM 66: The process by which life effects its conquest of the material universe consists in the conversion of the potential effort of matter and energy in space and through time to effect with it the conversion of further matter and energy in space and through time.
DN AXIOM 67: THETA contains its own THETA UNIVERSE effort which translates into MEST effort.
DN AXIOM 68: The single arbitrary in any organism is time.
DN AXIOM 69: Physical universe perceptions and efforts are received by an organism as force waves, convert by facsimile into THETA and are thus stored.
DEFINITION: Randomity is the misalignment through the internal or external efforts by other forms of life or the material universe of the efforts of an organism, and is imposed on the physical organism by counter-efforts in the environment.
DN AXIOM 70: Any cycle of any life organism is from static to motion to static.
.
PM AXIOM 66: The process by which the universe evolves consists of continual resolution of anomalies, which increasingly assimilates more substance.
PM AXIOM 67: The effort first manifest as thought, and then translates into physical effort.
PM AXIOM 68: The single arbitrary in any organism is disharmony.
PM AXIOM 69: The sensations are assimilated into perceptions and stored as memory, which over time is assimilated into experience as knowledge.
DEFINITION: Randomity is the lack of assimilation of sensations, perceptions, memory, and experience, which is visible in the efforts of the organism.
PM AXIOM 70: The cycle of any life organism is from birth to life to death.
NOTE: There is evolution of the dynamics because of the life of the organism.
.
DN AXIOM 71: The cycle of randomity is from static, through optimum, through randomity sufficiently repetitious or similar to constitute another static.
DN AXIOM 72: There are two subdivisions to randomity: data randomity and force randomity.
DN AXIOM 73: The three degrees of randomity consist of minus randomity, optimum randomity and plus randomity.
DEFINITION: Randomity is a component factor and necessary part of motion, if motion is to continue.
DN AXIOM 74: Optimum randomity is necessary to learning.
DN AXIOM 75: The important factors in any area of randomity are effort and counter-effort.
(Note: As distinguished from near perceptions of effort.)
.
PM AXIOM 71: The cycle of randomity is from oneness to disturbance to a higher level of oneness.
PM AXIOM 72: There is randomity at the level of thought as well as at the level of action.
PM AXIOM 73: Randomity manifests as too little, optimum, and too much motion.
PM AXIOM 74: Optimum randomity is oneness of assimilation, which is necessary to learning.
PM AXIOM 75: The important factor is just the right effort to resolve the counter-effort.
