Not surprisingly TROM's primary postulate was well known in Scientology.
However, they called it non-existence. Below are the conditions formulas which
start with must be known as non-existence.
Keep on TROMing

The Condition of Non-Existence
(New Post Formula)
Every new appointee to a post begins in Non-Existence, whether obtained by new
appointment, promotion or demotion.
He is normally under the delusion that now he is “THE ________” (new title). He
tries to start off in Power Condition as he is usually very aware of his new
status or even a former status. But in actual fact he is the only one aware of
it. All others, except perhaps the Personnel Officer, are utterly unaware of
him as having his new status.
Therefore he begins in a state of Non-Existence. And if he does not begin with
the Non-Existence Formula as his guide, he will be using the wrong condition
and will have all kinds of trouble.
Non-Existence Formula
The Non-Existence Formula is:
1. Find a communication line.
2. Make yourself known.
3. Discover what is needed or wanted.
4. Do, produce and/or present it.
A new appointee taking over a going concern often thinks he had better make
himself known by changing everything whereas he (a) is not well enough known to
do so and (b) hasn’t any idea of what is needed or wanted yet. And so he makes
havoc.
Sometimes he assumes he knows what is needed or wanted when it is only a fixed
idea with him and is only his idea and not true at all and so he fails at his
job.
Sometimes he doesn’t bother to find out what is really needed or wanted and
simply assumes it or thinks he knows when he doesn’t. He soon becomes
“unsuccessful.”
Now and then a new appointee is so “status happy” or so insecure or so shy that
even when his boss or his staff comes to him and tells him what is needed or
wanted, he can’t or doesn’t even acknowledge and really does go into
Non-Existence for keeps.
Sometimes he finds that what he is told is needed or wanted needs reappraisal
or further investigation. So it is always safest for him to make his own survey
of it and operate on it when he gets his own firm reality on what is needed or
wanted.
If the formula is applied intelligently the person can expect to get into a
zone of bypass where people are still doing his job to fill the hole his
predecessor may have left. This is a Danger Condition—but it is the next one
higher than Non-Existence on the scale. If he defends his job and does his job
and applies the Danger Formula, he will come through it.
He can then expect to find himself in Emergency Condition. In this, he must
follow the Emergency Formula with his post and he will come through it.
He can now expect to be in Normal Operation and if he follows the formula of
that, he will come to Affluence. And if he follows that formula, he will arrive
at Power. And if he applies the Power Formula, he will stay there.
So it is a long way from Power that one starts his new appointment and if he
doesn’t go up the scale from where he really is at the start, he will of course
fail.
This applies to groups, to organizations, to countries as well as individuals.
It also applies when a person fails at his job. He has to start again at
Non-Existence and he will build up the same way condition by condition.
