CONFUSION AND THE STABLE DATUM
CONFUSION AND THE STABLE DATUM
ScnMaster
the principle discovered by L.
Ron
Hubbard that in
order
to bring
order
out
of any
confusion
, one selects one
item
or
datum
in that
confusion
as stable or motionless. With this one adopted as a
stable datum
, others
can
be made to
fall
in
line
. A
confusion
is any
set
of factors or circumstances which do not seem to
have
any immediate solution. More broadly, a
confusion
in this
universe
is random motion. And a
stable datum
is the one
datum
from which any body of knowledge is built, and around which other data
align
. A
stable datum
does not
have to
be a correct oneNit is simply the one that keeps things from being in a
confusion
.
