- a science is an organized body of knowledge which knowledge, where, when you look, knowledge will be found. It doesn't have variables in it. (5009CM23 General Dianetics—Part 1 )
- a science is not merely a collection of facts, neatly arranged. An essential of a science is that observations give rise to theories which, in turn, predict new observations. When the new observations are made, they, in turn, give rise to better theories, which predict further observations. (Scn 8-80, p. 8)
