“AXIOM 12.

THE PRIMARY CONDITION OF ANY UNIVERSE IS THAT TWO SPACES, ENERGIES, OR OBJECTS MUST NOT OCCUPY THE SAME SPACE. WHEN THIS CONDITION IS VIOLATED (PERFECT DUPLICATE) THE APPARENCY OF ANY UNIVERSE OR ANY PART THERE-OF IS NULLED.”

Not that I have any trucking with Daniel Dennett but he would label the foregoing statement as deepity*. Perfect duplication as defined above by L. Ron Hubbard is by definition impossible. A condition by definition is a requirement. The absence of perfect duplication is said to be a requirement for any universe. Perfect duplication is not allowed in a physical universe, thus two spaces, energies or object can never occupy the same space. It is the law (condition) of the physical universe.

This means it can never be violated. Then it is meaningless to say that the impossible act of perfect duplication results in the disappearance of that which cannot be perfectly duplicated.

The closest physics comes to anything like perfect duplication is in the area of bosons which can occupy the same quantum state. In that case however there is no disappearance.

Perfect duplication is without a doubt possible as a purely mathematical operation and is only perfect in mathematics. Duplication just means two times the same, such as 2 x 1. In that case there is no disappearance either. But when one takes 1 – 1 , now we have zero and an actual disappearance one could say. So Hubbard was close but not as exact as one would expect from a mathematician.

* A deepity is a proposition that seems to be profound because it is actually logically ill-formed. It has (at least) two readings and balances precariously between them. On one reading it is true but trivial.
