SANITY
  1. the ability to recognize differences, similarities and identities. (HCO PL 26 Apr 70 R)
  2. a tolerance of confusion and an agreed-upon stable datum on which to align the data in a confusion are at once necessary for a sane reaction on the eight dynamics. This defines sanity. (Scn 0-8, p. 36)
  3. the computation of futures. (Scn 0-8, p. 89)
  4. a balance of creation and destruction is sanity. The individual is sane wherever he will create and destroy. (Scn 8-8008, p. 99)
  5. the legal definition of sanity is the "ability to tell right from wrong." (PAB 63)
  6. the ability to tell differences. The better one can tell differences, no matter how minute, and know the width of those differences, the more rational he is. The less one can tell differences and the closer one comes to thinking in identities (A=A) the less sane he is. (DMSMH, p. 338)
  7. sanity is the measure of how ably an individual assists things which assist survival, and inhibits things which inhibit survival. (5109CM24A)
  8. the degree of rationality of an individual. (DASF)
  9. rationality. A man is sane in the ratio that he can compute accurately, limited only by information and viewpoint. (EOS, p. 42)
  10. an absolute perfection in reasoning, which would resolve problems to the optimum good of all those concerned. (5203CM03A)
  11. sanity is certainty, providing only that that certainty does not fall beyond the conviction of another when he views it. (COHA, p. 187)
