Reference: Postulate Mechanics (PM)
It is the harmony of interactions that characterize all life. This harmony extends itself through reason.
Interactions
The lowest level organisms are formed out of interactions between light and chemicals. As organisms continue to interact, they evolve to higher levels of complexities. Life organisms have individuality in that they vary from each other even within a species.
The life organisms also bring changes to their environment on a large scale. 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.
.
Harmony
Harmony manifests as optimum motion that is consistent and continuous throughout. Life organisms are formed out of harmonious interactions. This harmony is essential for organisms to evolve to higher levels of complexities. Even when individual life organisms are physically separate, they are connected through harmony of motion.
Harmony starts at the level of postulates (thought) and continues through action (energy) and form (matter). Any failure in harmony propels a life organism toward succumb. The life organism creates, conserves, maintains, requires, destroys, changes, occupies, groups and disperses things. But such interactions occur harmoniously for organisms and their environment to survive optimally.
.
Reason
At the level of thought harmony appears as reason. Thought forms a dynamic matrix type structure upon assimilation. At the core of this matrix are postulates. Mental matrix assimilates all that is experienced making all motion optimum and all action harmonious. This is done by resolving anomalies. Anomalies consist of arbitrary, contradictory or missing factors that are interfering with harmony.
The mental matrix is the mind that is concerned wholly with resolving anomalies. The basic errors of reason are failure to recognize and resolve anomalies. Rightness is the harmony, consistency and continuity among all factors in a situation.

The Postulates
PM AXIOM 16: The lowest level organisms are formed out of interactions between light and chemicals.
NOTE: Interactions occur because substance of different kinds have different motion and inertia. As organisms continue to interact, they evolve to higher levels of complexities. There comes about a chain of organisms that support each other in their survival.
PM AXIOM 17: The life organisms also bring changes to their environment on a large scale.
NOTE: 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.
PM AXIOM 18: Life organisms have individuality in that they vary from each other even within a species.
PM AXIOM 19: All life survives together in harmony. Any failure in harmony propels a life organism toward succumb.
NOTE: The ability to maintain harmony in all interactions is persistence of the highest order.
PM AXIOM 20: The life organism creates, conserves, maintains, requires, destroys, changes, occupies, groups and disperses things.
NOTE: The interaction always maintains harmony leading to a better understanding of what is there.
PM AXIOM 21: Harmony manifests as optimum motion. Motion which is too swift and motion which is too slow are equally disharmonious.
PM AXIOM 22: Optimum motion is first established at the level of thought, it then filters through energy and matter.
PM AXIOM 23: All thought is concerned with making motion optimum.
PM AXIOM 24: The establishment of an optimum motion is a basic goal of reason.
PM AXIOM 25: The basic purpose of reason is to spot and eliminate anomalies.
NOTE: Anomalies are arbitrary, contradictory or missing factors that are preventing harmony.
PM AXIOM 26: Thought forms a dynamic matrix type structure upon assimilation. At the core of this matrix are postulates.
PM AXIOM 27: Mental matrix assimilates all that is experienced making all motion optimum and all action harmonious. This is done by resolving anomalies.
PM AXIOM 28: The mind is concerned wholly with resolving anomalies.
NOTE: Mind is the mental matrix that maintains the harmony of the organism.
PM AXIOM 29: The basic errors of reason are failure to isolate and resolve anomalies.
PM AXIOM 30: Rightness is the harmony, consistency and continuity among all factors in a situation.
.
Summary
The higher life organisms are supported by lower ones. Together they bring changes in the environment 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.
