The scale can also be viewed as a progressive fragmentation of the original single static which decided to be out of Native State. Using this viewpoint (promoted by Max Sandor) all case is seen to be a lack of integrity or "wholeness", which in Buddhist terms they call "dukkha."

There is a static which is aware but which is not busy being anything, even though it is everything.

This static forms aware (coexisting) beingnesses within it which are aware of being each other.

These act to split off awarenesses within themselves which are unaware of being each other, programmed to repel one another, yet yearning for interaction.

These separated awarenesses split off many viewpoints from which to view.

These viewpoints go through the series in this universe group and acquire many shells of mask, symbol, theta body, astral body and MEST body. This is our common household "thetan."

These thetans are capable at first of knowing a whole universe by being the entire space of that universe. This is the upper band of the Thought area corresponding to "Know" on the K-M scale. At this level the thetan is only fragmented into separate thetans.

Later abilities have degenerated to the point where a thetan can no longer postulate an entire complex creation alone. Universes become a group effort. But it can still encompass the whole the space of that creation. This is knowing by pervasion and is the middle of the Thought band. Cause over creations is less, and the thetan is no longer being the dream, just a dreamer.

Then comes a crucial step at Games/Opinions. Gone are boundless views. The ability to pervade has been replaced with Look. Fragmentation has progressed at this point so that instead of being whole spaces, the thetan is located at limited points of view.

With descent into the Emotion band the thetan solidifies opinion into attitude.

With descent into the Effort band, attitude becomes entities over which the center of consciousness has no control or responsibility. The thetan is fragmenting into multiple personalities, demon circuits, entities, BTs -- various terms which have been invented to describe this condition.

The thetan can create any amount of static including a perfect copy of itself. The thetan also splits off viewpoints which are not aware of being aware, but which still have a core of static just like all the above.

The thetan creates complexes of thoughts, goals, intentions and habits which then form an identity or personality. Or it can be a machine. There's a whole tech around such. This is what's behind deep legends of living magic swords and jewels of power -- there is beingness in them. These theta complexes can be programmed to reproduce themselves, making an infinity of copies -- yet they are alive. So talk to your tree, your parakeet and your cockroach. Say hello to your entities which copy themselves like mad.

The thetan and/or split viewpoint can at any time think as little as a single thought. And that thought will contain static, postulate(s), emotion, feeling, etc.

Even the solid rock sitting in your garden has a tone on the tone scale (below death 0.0) and has a deeply buried element of static in it.

There is not anything which is not alive, nor is there anything which isn't YOU at the highest level.

The series of gradations of being I wrote above are only a matter of roughly hitting the high points. The gradations of being are infinitely fine. It's a smooth ramp from static to cold hard matter. Because cold hard matter isn't really so cold and hard -- it is still static.
