Hubbard must have had a hard time with his static, first (1951) it was a fixed idea to be audited out, later that year it had evolved to the basic of life and thought in the axioms. A year or so later, at the time of Technique 8-80, it was made more mobile and became ‘statronics’. I will explain…

There is no liveliness, no motion, no energy and no electronics in the static by definition, thus he was stuck in an untenable position. The way out was to pronounce that thought was a kind of “energy” which was not part of the physical universe and thus the ‘statronics’ or the electronics of human thought was born. So we finally got analytical thought with a wavelength of 0.0000000000000000000000002 cm.

This supreme wisdom of static motion I have baptized statronics, to honor the oxymoron of THETA the static as motion.

“Thought is the subject matter of Scientology. It is considered as a kind of “energy” which is NOT PART of the physical universe. It controls energy, but it has no wave length. It uses matter, but it has no mass. It is found in space, but it has no position. It records time, but it is not subject to time. The Greek word (and letter), THETA, is used as a symbol for thought as an ‘energy’”. Scientology 8-80, p. 3.
