MECHANICS
The physical and quantitative structure and operation of things, and the way they inter-act one with another under specific circumstances and in obedience to certain rules. The way something, be it mind, body or matter, works or is constructed.
From the AOGP Abridged Scientology Dictionary — based on original LRH source materials, updated through 1982.
Usage
When studying Scientology, a student learns the mechanics of the mind — how it is physically structured and how its parts interact under specific circumstances. Understanding mechanics means grasping the quantitative, operational side of how something works, whether it is a body, a mind, or matter.
Why It Matters
Knowing the mechanics of the mind allows an auditor to address mental phenomena precisely rather than guessing. This understanding is foundational to producing consistent, repeatable results in auditing and training.
