KHTK Factor # 9: And thus there is computation.

With postulates, viewpoints, dimension points, and more postulates we have the beginning of mental activity. As this activity increases, there come about additional elements in the form of projections, opinions, conclusions, facts, data, etc.

Each postulate adds something that should be taken into consideration along with the principle of oneness. Additional constraints build up to the degree postulate are not assimilated per the criterion of oneness. 

With increasing constraint, new postulates start to become increasingly complex and stimulus-response in nature. We may see it as thought, which is freer, condensing into energy, which is subject to the laws of electromagnetism. We see this gradual condensation documented in the Tone scale of Scientology. 

Thus, comes about all this mental computation to deal with this complexity. The complexity is directly proportional to the lack of assimilation per the criterion of oneness.

Compare the above to the following factor in Scientology.

Scientology Factor # 9. And thus there is energy.

Energy is condensed thought that has become more stimulus-response in nature. Here Hubbard is talking about mental energy that is reflected in physical energy.

Logic

Thought being highly flexible can deal with an incredibly large number of variables. Energy deals with lesser number of condensed variables, and matter deals with the least number of variables that combine into very predictable laws of mechanics. Thus, there are different levels of computations.

KHTK Factor # 7: When gaps are viewed among dimension points, new dimensions are postulated to fill them. Thus there is reasoning.

The dimension point is a point of knowingness in the vast background of the Unknowable. It is created out of postulates. It has substance.

But the earlier postulates as dimension points provide a rough sketch only.  The principle of oneness makes the sketchiness visible. One immediately sees tremendous gaps. New postulates are then made in an attempt to fill these gaps. This cycle keeps repeating. And so the earlier sketch starts to take a more of a recognizable appearance. 

This is the process of creation of the “being” we know as the Universe. First there is the substance in the form of postulates. Next that substance starts to spread out and starts to show gaps. As these gaps starts to get filled, the first appearance that we have is that of continuous space.

So, the primary anomaly is discontinuity (missing knowingness). It is very difficult to spot this anomaly because it is not there to be spotted.

This is the beginning of reason; and the first challenge of reasoning is to spot what is missing.

So the universe starts to form. But we are not quite there yet.

Compare the above to the following factor in Scientology.

Scientology Factor # 7. And from the viewpoint to the dimension points there are connection and interchange. Thus new dimension points are made. Thus there is communication.

Communication already exists with the ability to view the dimension points. This communication now develops into reasoning to discover more.

.

Logic

Reasoning requires the ability to perceive what is missing. This is impossible to do without a universal criterion, such as, the principle of oneness. Reasoning is qualified by the viewpoint.

KHTK Factor # 5: The being manifests as space.

Space has to do with distances, extents and dimensions. When there are points to view, or dimension points, there are dimensions and extents. This is space.

There is no empty space, because there must be something with extents and dimensions in order to have space. This something is the substance of postulates. It is also the substance of beings.

Therefore, space represents the primary substance of beings. As beings condense, the space also condenses into energy and matter.

Scientology

Compare the above to the following factor in Scientology.

Scientology Factor # 5. Thus there is space created, for the definition of space is: viewpoint of dimension. And the purpose of a dimension point is space and a point of view.

Anything that you view has viewpoint involved. The characteristic of space is “dimension.” Distance is not the only dimensions. There are also the dimensions of color, taste, smell, etc. 

.

Logic

Broadly, space describes all the properties of substance that constitutes the being. These properties can be plotted on dimensional scales.
