CADET, any child who has passed his Staff Status II and AB or
engine room Checksheet and has a post which he is holding in the
Sea Org and who has a good ethics record is hereafter to be
referred to not in a generality of "children," but as a cadet. A
cadet has rank equal to a deckhand or motorman. (FO 760)
CADET ORG, it will be a Seven Division Org manned by children who
have actual posts. Its org board must be planned out; must be
standard. Any discipline goes through the Cadet Org. They must,
every one of them, be hatted. Unless they are signed up SO members,
the children are used in the galley or estates EPF only. There must
be a nursery. There must be QMs on duty as reception. There must be
stable personnel - and there only could be if this were to have the
status of an org. You want quarters where you can have a baby care
unit, dormitories, kitchens and moderate space for the Cadet Org
desks, auditing and Qual functions. Why should they be miserable
and knocked about when they can have their own org and be respected
and demand respect from their elders as well, and feel proud of
themselves. The real trick is to get them over to cause without
their having to use naughtiness to be at covert cause. A Cadet Org
could accomplish that. (ED 13 Area Estates)

CAMOFLAGED HOLE, 1. a hole in the org line up that appears to be
a post. Yet it isn't a held post because its duties are not being
done. It is therefore a hole people and actions fall into without
knowing it is there. It can literary drive an org mad to have a few
of these around. Camoflage means "disguised" or made to appear
something else. In this case a hole in the line up is camoflaged by
the fact that somebody appears to be holding it who isn't. (HCO PL
10 Sept 70) 2. means post not tided but only appears to be, thus
leaving a hole in the line up. Such people always cause overwork by
persons above or below them and are pretty dangerous to have
around. (HCO PL 17 Nov 64). 3. when a hat is not worn for any
reason at all, one gets a breakdown at that point. We call this a
camoflaged hole. Somebody has a title but doesn't do the duties or
actions that go with it. (OODs 25 Apr 70) 4. a camoflaged hole is
one that looks like there is something there, but it is actuary a
hole, and of course that itself will generate dev-t. Now he's very
obvious as a being and he may be carrying the title of Qual Sec but
if he is not holding the actual post duties of Qual Sec he will
generate just by that missingness, enormous dev-t, because the
people all around him will have to wear the hat of Qual Sec. (ESTO

Officer's (or Executive Officer's) Mast wherein the Executive
Officer passes on all offenders and sends the more reprehensible
ones to the Captain's Mast. The Captain may, however, at any time
sentence offenders. Up until only a century ago he had the
authority to hang men until one hanged the son of the Secretary of
the Navy of the US for mutiny, after which the custom lapsed.
Modern practice limits the Captain's Mast punishment to ten days in
the brig on bread and water. In merchant service the offender is
logged and loses one or more day's pay as a result. In the Sea

it is the body of the opposite number, the magic body of the person
who is in the field. It's actually a magic body. It's a counterfeit
body that the organization holds, so therefore a person is never in
CF until he has originated himself to the organization. The
definition of a CF folder is: it is that folder which contains all

originated to an organization by an outside person. There should be
a folder for every such person. (5812C16) 5. these folders never

solutions and complicated admin, the CF information sup is brought
into use. The CF info sup is made out: (1) whenever an invoice is
written for an AP received, whether in the mail or over the

Org and should know that he can unload tough pcs on it. Services
may be delivered to anyone in the continental area who wishes to
take them in the Central Org. The Central Org promotes directly to
the public in its own area, and helps the Area Orgs, franchises and
groups to successfully carry out their functions so as to produce
streams of customers from their areas to the Central Org. The
Central Org has long been charged with holding the tech standard
for its area. It must hold a standard, as a stable terminal, for
all the flow lines of its continent. (LRH ED 34 INT) 4. there are
two divisions in a Central Organization. One is Technical, the
senior division, the other is Administration. There are

the Holy Bible, Jesus is the Savior of man and everything that's
necessary to be a Christian religion. People who belong to that
church are expected to be Christians. These two
77
churches fit together. We take somebody in as a Church of American
Science. It doesn't disagree with his baptism or other things like
that, and he could gradually slide over into some sort of better,
wider activity such as the Church of Scientology and a little more
wisdom and come a little more close to optimum. Then if he was good
and one of the people that we would like to have around he would
eventually slide into the HASI. So we have provided stepping stones
to Scn with these organizations. (5410C04)

semi-individuation can take place. This comes an as income grows.
Even if all the titles are worn, the departments do not exist in
fact and a condition can arise where people try to be department
heads when they are really just sweeping floors. In a City Office
at first one cannot afford to employ administrative staff who only
administer. The first break-out of this is hiring a receptionist. A
City Office is composed almost entirely of technical personnel who
while working at technical activities (teaching, processing)
somehow handle administration. A City Office invoices everything
received, banks it all and pays all its salaries and bills by
cheque. That is the lowest rung of an accounts department. Probably
the Assn Sec in a City Office does this. The records are kept no
further and someday get audited. The fundamental action of a City
Office is technical service. A City Office which is well
established may have seven or eight people on staff. A City Office,
well-handled, can grow to become a Central Organization with a Six
Department System. (HCO PL 21 Feb 61) Abbr. CITO

thing. (HCO PL 2 Jun 65)
CIVIL COMMITTEE OF EVIDENCE, 1. one person satisfactory to both
contestants used in disputes between Scientologists or portions of
Scn, the contestants abiding by the findings of the one person
committee. (HCO PL 31 Mar 65) 2. if a staff member wishes to sue a
fellow staff member or right a wrong he or she may request a Civil
Committee of Evidence of HCO. HCO usually appoints one senior staff
member on which the two can agree. The senior staff member holds a
session or sessions and both contenders must abide by his findings
and award of any money or damages or return of property. There is
no further appeal. A Civil Committee of Evidence follows the same
procedure and has the same rights as any other Committee of
Evidence. (HCO PL 17 Mar 65 II)
CIVIL HEARING, all civil matters in writing an ethics order are
headed Civil clearing. (HCO PL 2 Jun 65)
CLAIMS VERIFICATION BOARD, hereafter, no refund or repayment may

CLASSED OFFICIAL ORG, there is no such thing as a classed
official org. Any official org (not a franchise or gung-ho group)
can perform and teach any class grade up to Class IV. This includes
Standard On HDC and HOG. Only an official org can teach academy
courses and qualify students for Scn certificates. (HCO PL 15 Dec
69) CLASSIFICATION, 1. classification is in addition to
certification and is by additional examination by HCO.
Classification is sealed on any certificate by "class" and large
Roman numerals and a Hubbard Communications Office ring, the Roman
numerals denoting class to be huge and in the center of the seal.
The object of class is that course completion alone may award a
certificate But course proficiency is denoted by a class seal
Auditors who have difficulty getting results should not be classed.
Classification is not a matter of obligation to HCO. It is a
special award and is not owed to anyone. (HCO PL 12 Aug 63) 2.

CLASSIFICATION EXAM, 1. this is a practical exam. The test
consists of a checkout of TRY, any of the meter drills of the
level, and the auditing of a doll on the process or processes of
that level with full TRs and admin. The examiner gives the student
a mock C/S and the student audits the dog on that C/S. The student
is required to pass this exam 100%. The student is flunked for out
TRs, out meter drills, out admin, or out tech only. (FO 1685) 2.
this is just a good, comprehensive examination of the exact course
he has completed earlier. It is in theory, practical and auditing.
(HCO PL 3 Dec 64)
CLASSIFICATION, GRADATION AND AWARENESS CHART, the route to
Clear, the bridge. On the right side of the chart there are various
steps called the states of release. The left-hand side of the chart
describes the very important steps of training on which one gains
the knowledge and abilities necessary to deliver the grades of
release to another. It is a guide for the individual from the point
where he first becomes dimly aware of a Scientologist or Scn and
shows him how and where he should move up in order to make it. Scn
contains the entire map for getting the individual through all the
various points on this gradation scale and for getting him across
the bridge to a higher state of existence. (AUD 107 ASHO)
CLASS SEAL, classification is in addition to certification and is
by additional examination by HCO. Classification is sealed on any
certificate by "class" and large Roman numerals and a Hubbard

cleaners (Steward's Dept) and wipers (engine room). (FO 748)
CLEAN HANDS CLEARANCE CHECK, in order for an auditor who is
regarded as a security risk to be considered to have clean hands,
it is necessary for him to receive a clean hands clearance check
from HCO. The clean hands clearance check consists of that auditor
having the following rudiments put in very thoroughly by an HGC
Class II staff auditor using prepclearing techniques. (1) auditor.
"Are you willing to talk to me about your difficulties?" (2)
withholds - last two pages of Joburg Form 8 or all of Form 3A; and
all of an HCO WW Sec. Form 6A. Plus asking "Has a withhold been
missed on you?" frequently as all such persons specialize in
getting them missed. This will be checked out on completion by the
HCO Area Secretary for any questions on Form 8 or 8A and Form 6A
which may be still alive and for any missed or partial withholds,

gets damaged. (FO 315) 2. a cleaning station is assigned to every
staff member in the org, with a cleaning stations list drawn up to
cover all areas of the org with all staff members participating. A
staff member is usually assigned his own work area as a cleaning
station, with the divisional officer I/C of the cleaning stations
for his whole area. (HCO PL 16 Aug 74 IIR)

CLEAR, a Clear has risen from the analogy between the mind and
the computing machine. Before a computer can be used to solve a
problem, it must be cleared of old problems, of old data and
conclusions. Otherwise, it will add all the old conclusions into
the new one and produce an invalid answer. Processing clears more
and more of these problems from the computer. The completely
cleared individual would have all his self-determinism in present
time and would be completely self-determined. (Abil 114A)
CLEAR AMERICA CRUSADE, crusade to boom USA (February 1974). Every
Scientologist had to get in one new Scientologist by mid April. (AO

checkout, there must be no reaction on the needle. The needle must
be completely free with the tone arm at clear read for the sex of
the person being tested. The needle can be made to impulse with the
body totally motionless, hands steady, and no tricks. Further the
needle can also be shoved from one side of the dial to the other by
the Clear looking at it. Records must be presented showing that all
R6 materials have been run and no other characteristics or
phenomena are required or demanded of the Grade VI Clear. (HCO PL 2
Apr 65, Meter Checks)
CLEAR ESTIMATE, [Called a case estimate now. Was an estimate of
number of hours of auditing required to clear a person given to
that person at his request.)
CLEARING, an operation whereby a badly cluttered communication
channel may be swept clean. Sometimes an emergency exists which
requires an enormous traffic volume and this has communicators
slaving all up and down the lines. When a line or number of lines
are to be cleared of an emergency situation which has ceased to
exist, the Chief Communicator is informed by the deciding executive
and all messages appertaining to the past situation are swept back
to files whether they have been acknowledged or completed or not.

categories of DPF members: new recruits and clinical. Clinical
personnel include out-ethics cases, tiger types, persons who need
extroverting from their environments, and the Like. Not to put
ethics in on these guys is very cruel indeed. Ethics is what is

CLO COUNCIL WW, the CLO Council WW is established as a body
composed of all properly
85
appointed CLOs at WW. Its primary function is to serve as an
examining body on complaints referred to it concerning orders and
directions issued on or against Continental and/or Area Orgs. A
complaint may be originated by a CLO, or the CLO may be ordered by
his Continental Exec Council to raise it. The Council may only veto
an order or directive already issued. It may not issue orders, plan
or advise. It handles only after the fact of issue. No LRH order
may ever be over ridden by the Council. No Controller order may
ever be over-ridden by the Council. No Guardian order may ever be
over-ridden by the Connofl. (HCO PL 20 Apr 69 II) [The above HCO PL
was cancelled by BPL 10 Oct 75 VII.]
CLO ETHICS OFFICER, the duties of an FB or CLO Ethics Officer in
Bureau 1 are the general standard ethics actions external, making
certain that ethics is standard and in throughout CLOs and orgy A
Bureau 1A FB or CLO Ethics Of fleer duties are internal in the FB
or the CLO. (FO 8067)
CLO EXPENSE, a CLO is supported by funds from its nearest major
org. This does not mean all funds above allocation for that org
belong to a CLO. 10% of the CGI of the major org should be more
than adequate to support a CLO since if the CLO is any good at
management at all the income will be high in that major org. It is
expected to send far more to SO reserves than it consumes. (HCO PL
9 Mar 72 I)
CLO LEVEL, Flag level - international whys applying to all orgs.
CLO level - continental whys to remedy to get Flag programs and
projects in. Org level - divisional and departmental and individual
whys that prevent Flag programs and projects from going in. So
that's the reason for a CLO: to observe and to send all data to
Flag and to continentally find out why Flag projects and programs
are not going "m" in an org and remedy that why and get the
programs and projects in. That is a CLO. (HCO PL 22 Jul 71)
CLO-OTL RESERVES, any reserves that may be built up locally by
book and pack sales, events, FSM commissions and booming the major
org. It is expected to send far more to SO reserves than it
consumes. (HCO PL 9 Mar 72 I)

COACH, a student who is standing in the role of "pc." (HCOTB 17
May 57)
COACHING THEORY, see THEORY COACHING.
COAT OF ARMS, in all ages and places, men have used symbols to
communicate. From very early times, we find that people belonging
to the same family or group or tribe wore similar clothing. Aside
from being a matter of fashion, this also made it easy to identify
one's group members even at a distance. In the Middle Ages, it
became even more important to develop distinguishing symbols since
a knight in full armor is not easy to identify. So the practice of
designing distinguishing symbols and designs to be used by the
knight, his retinue, his family and group became a very important
art and science. Soon, every knight had his distinguishing marks
which represented not only his symbolic prowess but also the
heritage of his family and its connections. The coat of arms as a
whole consists of several major parts: the crest, the mantling, the
shield or escutcheon (a word coming from the Latin word, scutum,
meaning shield) and the motto. If you inspect a coat of arms as a
whole, knowing the relationship of the parts, you will see how it
derives from a very simple representation of the basic armor of a
knight, along with its distinguishing symbols, with the motto as
the guiding principle on which he and his group operate, set just
beneath it. The coat of arms became the rallying point and sign of
recognition for any group of people. By it, they could identify
themselves as a group with common purposes, common goals. (FO 8350)
CO-AUDIT, 1. a team of any two people who are helping each other
reach a better life with Scn processing. (HCO PL 21 Aug 63) 2. we
will call co-audit "Do it yourself therapy." Do it yourself therapy
is the lowest cost therapy in the world. It is cheap because you
give some when you get some. (HCO PL 23 Jan 61)
CO-AUDIT CASE SUPERVISOR, (Co-Audit C/S) C/S where a co-audit
exists separate from the HGC lines. (HCO PL 25 Sept 74)
CO-AUDITOR ROUTE, preclear progresses as in the preclear route.
Auditor progress, is by training for certificates only, not
classification. There is a certificate for every level. (HCO PL 5
May 64)
CO COUNCIL, it is vital that COs of interdependent orgs in close
proximity form amongst themselves a means of resolution of
situations that require their coordinated attention and action.
Each CO has exact problems. Each depends on the other orgs. The
purpose of the CO Council is: to state and resolve their major
current concerns and to form immediate and longer range actions to
handle expansion. The chairman of the council is the CO of the
Founding Org (Management Org) or its liaison office. The council
meets no less than once a week and more frequently as needed. (FO

CODE, generally an arbitrary list of words that stand for words
actually meant. (HCO PL 11 Sept 73)

POs. (3) always take command in a situation that needs urgent
handling when there is no senior present. (4) wear your Petty
Officer uniform every day. (5) insist on your rights as a senior
rating. (6) back up your seniors. (7) take responsibility for your
juniors. (8) never invalidate your status or let it be invalidated.
Hard work and nothing else won you your title. Be proud of it. (9)
increase your knowledge and skill in seamanship daily - a Petty
Officer is an experienced sailor. (FO 1978)
CODE OF A SEA ORG MEMBER, the code of a Sea Org member has been
distilled from the collected works of L. Ron Hubbard. These rules
are not new; on the contrary they are the traditional ones with
which the Sea Org was built (FO 8281) [See the referenced FO for
the full code.]

COFFEE SHOP AUDITING, auditing inevitably done casually out of
auditing rooms by staff on staff or students on friends and
students even when you try to prevent it. (HCO PL 20 Mar 61 II)
COGNITIONS, new concepts of life. (HCO PL 5 May 65)
COINS, 1. an organization has so many registrar minutes to
invest. And the registrar minutes it has to invest determines the
number of sign-ups which an organization has. Do you get how, you
figure out the coins? This is the internal economy of an
organization and these are the real factors of
87
economy. It's the HAS that makes them available to be spent. He's
in charge of the personnel lines and spaces. So he also must be in
charge of the potential coins the organization has to spend. Not
dollars, they're worthless. He's in charge of how many auditing
hours the HGC can furnish, how many instructor minutes can be
furnished, how many typist minutes. (FEBC 10, 7101C24 SO III) 2.
the coins are the volume - potential volume of production per
department for the final product of the department, not necessarily
the final valuable product of the org. (FEBC 10, 7101C24 SO III)
COLD PROSPECTS, prospects who have not expressed a reach for
training or processing. (SO ED 230 INT)
COLLATERAL, personal property pledged by the borrower to the
lender to partially or fully cover the amount of a loan, and which
is capable of being converted to cash.
COLLECTION, in business, the act of collecting cash, usually by a
specified time, from customers who have made purchases on credit.
COLLECTION FOLDER, every person owing money has a collection
folder into which copies of invoices of all payments made are
filed, the folder to include copies of all contracts and notes.
Collection folders are summarized monthly and statements are sent
out monthly to debtors. (HCO PL 23 Jan 66)
COLLECTION PROCEDURE, contacting by phone, letter or in person
credit customers who have not yet paid for their purchases.
COLLECTIONS LETTERS, letters encouraging payments. (BPL 13 Feb
68)
COLLECTIONS SECTION, (Income Dept) the Collections Section sends
out all mailed statements to individuals and statements to orgs and
acts and writes to collect any money owed the org from any source.
It has its own statements books and files and receives whatever
Area Cashier and Collections has uncollected when a person leaves
the area. Collections should have a statement sheet for every
person who owes the org money. (HCO PL 18 Apr 69 II)
COLLECTIVE OPINION, by the nature of the bank, collective opinion
is always derogatory or bank, this being the one thing held in
common by all. So the group ignores the good and embraces the bad.
(HCO PL 21 Jan 65)
88
COLLECTIVE-THINK, 1. is always closer to bank-think than
individual reasoning. That's because the bank is the one constant
people have in common. And it's crazy. So almost any individual
alive can plan better than a group will execute and certainly
better than a group can plan. Scn groups are far superior to human
groups. But the rule still applies that collective-think is always
less sane than the thinking of an individual. (HCO PL 18 Jan 65) 2.
every human has in common with every other human the same reactive
bank. This is the most they have in common. The reactive bank -
unconscious mind, whatever you care to call it - suppresses all
decent impulses and enforces the bad ones. Therefore a Democracy is
a collective-think of reactive banks. Popular opinion is
bank-opinion Collective-think is basically bank. (HCO PL 13 Feb 65)
COLLEGE OF SCIENTOLOGY, I am forming the College of Scientology
with the headquarters at Saint Hill. It is part of HASI Arizona,

COLOR FLASH TABBED, the central files are divided up as follows:
five classes of tabulation, color marked (color dash tabbed). They
have little plastic tabs that go on top of them and a color is

you ever saw. (HCOB 6 Apr 57)
COLUMN, type of article other than straight news usually included
in a newspaper. A columnist is entitled to use his byline as
authority, he needs not name source. Does not necessarily express
opinion or party line of paper, but can compliment or amplify it. A

COMBINED STATISTIC, a combined statistic is of course where you
take the same statistics from several functions and add them up to
one line. A very large function added in to a combined graph can
therefore obscure bad situations. (HCO PL 6 Nov 66 I) COMCENTER,
Central Communications Office, of which there can be only one in
any given communication system. (HTLTAE, p. 35)
COMMAND CHANNEL, 1. (communication routing) command charmers go
up through seniors over to a senior and down to a junior. Or they

unusual permission or authorizations or information or important
actions or compliances. Downward it is used for orders. (HCO PL 25
Oct71 I) 2. junior to senior to senior's senior or on down. (HCO PL
25 Jul 72)
COMMAND COMM CYCLE, essentially there is a command comm cycle. He
who gives the order gets an answers Compliance reports are never
routed off the lines before they reach the originator of the order.
To do so creates an atmosphere of non-compliance. A compliance
report is not a cycle begun, it is not a cycle in progress. It is a
cycle completed and reported back to the originator as done so that
the command comm cycle is completed. (BPL 26 Jan 69RA)
COMMANDING OFFICER, 1. the Commanding Officer of an organization
is the Product Officer of that organization. He does nothing but

program. (ESTO 1, 7203C01 SO I) 2. the org is commanded by the
Commanding Officer (SO orgs) or the Executive Director (non-SO
orgs) In the triangular system of the Flag Executive Briefing
Course (FEBC) (Product-Org Officer System) the CO or ED coordinates
the work of the Product Officer, Org Officer and Executive Esto In

is a double hat with CO. (HCO PL 7 Mar 72) 3. the head of the org
is the Commanding Officer or Executive Director. He is usually also
the Product Officer. He is senior to the Exec Esto. (HCO PL 7 Mar
72) 4. when the Captain leaves a ship even for a few hours or days,
he always leaves someone in charge. This person is "the senior
officer with the duty" and is in fact the Comma ding Officer during
the absence of the Captain. By virtue of that he is responsible for
the ship and everyone aboard. (FO 3842) Abbr. CO.
COMMANDING OFFICER REPORTS, any and all Commanding Officers of

COMMANDO SALES TEAM, see SALES TEAM, COMMANDO.
COMMAND TEAM, there is an idea afoot to form command teams to
send to existing ores in populace areas to build them up. This
would consist of at a guess a commanding officer, and HES (org
officer), OES (product officer) and PES (Public Officer). These
would all be Sea Org members. They would be in the area many months
and would build a good, solid-going org. (OODs 13 Nov 71)
COMM BASKETS, three baskets constitute a comm station and consist
of an "in," "pending," and "out." These baskets are for the use of
the staff member to whom the station belongs and the communicator
who distributes and picks up dispatches, messages and letters. (HCO

COMM CENTER BASKETS, the comm center contains a basket for each
staff member. Each basket is tagged with the person's name, and
underneath the name is then post or posts. Each person is
responsible for delivering his own dispatches to the proper
baskets, and for picking up daily his own dispatches (except in
some larger orgs, where there is a communicator for this purpose).
(HCO PL 13 Dec 62)
COMM CYCLE ADDITIVES, good auditing occurs when the comm cycle
alone is used and is muzzled. Additives on the auditing comm cycle
are any action, statement, question or expression given in addition
to TRs 0-4. (HCO PL 1 Jul 65 II)
COMMENDABLE, we're going to introduce a new noun in
Scientologese. It's a commendable. We need a word meaning a good
action. There is no single word for it in English. Thus we coin the

Area Secretary. Goes through desk drawers, filing cabinets and any
nook and cranny in the org searching for hidden letters, book or

take up a special piece of business or proposal and present its
findings to the executive level of an organization.
COMMITTEE OF EVIDENCE, 1. a committee of evidence is not a court.
It is simply a fact-finding body with legal powers, convened to get

has the truth of it, then a convening authority acts - but only in
exact accordance with a justice code. (HCO PL 27 Mar 65) 2. a
fact-finding body composed of impartial persons properly convened

illegally out of his division or dismissed without a Committee of
Evidence. (HCO PL 29 Apr 65 III) 5. a Committee of Evidence is
convened by the Office of LRH through the HCO Secretary and is
composed of staff members. Its purpose is entirely to obtain
evidence and recommend action which the Office of LRH then modifies

he or she may request a Committee of Evidence from the HCO
Secretary and may have recourse. (HCO PL 10 Apr 65) Abbr. Comm Ev.

COMMITTEES, the whole upset with committees is they are used
wrongly. They are there to plan. They are there as individuals to
be informed and have a say in modifying or approving or rejecting
material drawn up before. (OODs 24 Jan 70)
COMM LINE, 1. (communication line) a comm blue is the line on
which particles flow, it is horizontal. A command line is a line on
which authority flows. It is vertical. (HCO PL 1 Apr 72) 2. these

137) 3. (comline) a communications line. This does not refer to
physical equipment but to the passage of ideas between two points.
A flow of ideas, in two directions, on paper, establishes a
comline. A verbal exchange of ideas can be considered a comline
only when the discussion is summarized on paper and then sent over
the line as a confirmation. (FITLTAE, p. 118)

COMMODORE, 1. head of the flotilla and related organizations as
well as the immediate Flag organization above the level of
Captains, which carry out and help him to carry out his duties. (FO
3342) 2. a large amount of a Commodore's time,
92
contrary to popular belief and tradition, is spent estimating the
efficiency and standards of Captains and senior officers,
inspecting the conditions of crews and seeing to their welfare,
seeing that vessels and their equipment are in operational
condition. This comes under the heading of inspection. But it is
more than that; it is maintaining a visual information service
which Includes continuous awareness of the content of various
communication lines; these include not only awareness of all types
of reports but also the personal daily reports of individuals. This
collection of information adds up to an awareness of the existing
scene which changes daily. (FO 3342-2) 3. the post of Commodore
relates to Sea Org matters. (FO 766) 4. a courtesy title for a Flag
officer commanding several ships. (FO 2389) 5. command of the

COMMODORE'S STAFF, 1. the lines of the Commodore's Staff are
mainly concerned with external Sea Org actions, handling SO
matters, Scn ores, missions, etc. (FO 1490) 2. the deputy of the
Board of Directors is Commodore of the flotilla (who may be
assisted by aides and other personnel known as Commodore's Staff).
(FO 1109) 3. the theory of appointment for the Commodore's Staff is
based on: (1) a liaison officer for each of the seven divisions on
each ship and (2) a communications service for the Commodore and
(3) personal service for the Commodore. When the Commodore is
afloat his staff, Insofar as practical, is with him, performing
their regular staff duties and any seamanship duties he may require
in assisting to handle ships or boats or operations in which they
may be required to take an active part. Some of the staff, such as
typist, may continue on in a shore office when the Commodore is
afloat. Not all his staff always accompanies him but those who do
may be expected to perform sea duties as well as staff duties. (FO
1) Abbr. CS. See AIDE.
COMMODORE'S STEWARD, 1. cares for the Commodore's quarters,
clothes and meals afloat. (FO 1) 2. is not called "Flag Steward" as
she is not the steward of the Flag Section and should avoid other
responsibilities as I would shortly have no steward but the Flag
Section would have one. On the ship where I am Captain she is still
the Commodore's Steward. (FO 87)
COMMODORE STAFF ORDERS, Commodore Staff Orders are created. Their
designation Is CS Order. These are orders necessary to staff and
not concerning Flag. They will be typed and issued by our own
yeoman. Where a Staff Order is necessary to be known to Flag it
will also be issued as a Flag Order and handled by Division 1.
COMMODORE'S TRANSPORT I/C, Commodore's Transport I/C is
responsible to the Second Deputy Commodore for the readiness and
care of the Commodore's transport and boats and that of the
Controller. (FO 3342)
COMMON ROOM, each house (or floor in a hotel) must have a common
room for its members. This Is a lounge which is used by all members
for guests, or reading or relaxation during free time or liberties.
Anyone who abuses the privilege of using the common room may be
barred from it by the House Captain. The common room must have
specific persons assigned to clean it every day as a cleaning
station. (FO 3176R)
COMM STATION, three baskets constitute a comm station and consist
of an "in," "pending," and "out." These baskets are for the use of
the staff member to whom the station belongs and the communicator
who distributes and picks up dispatches, messages and letters.
Every administrative staff member, without exception, should have a
comm station. (HCO PL 9 Feb 64)
COMM SYSTEM ESTABLISHMENTS SECTION, the establishment of internal
org communication systems includes our comm centers, our comm
stations. Director of Communication sees that every staff member
has a basket in a comm center and a personal comm station near his
area of work no matter who the staff member is - that includes the
janitor! This is a section in the Department of Communication, the
Comm System Establishments Section. It works out the system, puts
up the baskets, establishes other needful systems. (HCO PL 25 Feb
66)
COMMUNICATION, 1. the consideration and action of impelling an
impulse or particle from source-point across a distance to
receipt-point, with the intention of bringing into being at the
receipt-point a duplication and understanding of that which
emanated from the source-point. The formula of communication is:
cause, distance, effect, with intention, attention and duplication
with understanding. The component parts of communication are
consideration, intention, attention, cause, source-point, distance,
effect, receipt-point, duplication, understanding, the velocity of
the impulse or particle, nothingness or somethingness. A
non-communication consists of barriers. Barriers consist of space,
interpositions (such as walls and screens of fast-moving
particles), and time. A communication by definition does not need
to be two-way. When a communication is returned, the formula is
repeated, with the receipt-point now becoming a source-point and
the former source-point now becoming a receipt-point. (HCO PL 4 Apr
72 III) 2. communication consists of the flows of ideas or
particles across space between solids. (POW, p. 31) 3. simply a
familiarization process based on reach and withdraw. When you speak
you are reaching. When you cease to speak you are withdrawing. When
he hears you, he's at that moment a bit withdrawn but then he
reaches toward you with the answer. (HCOB 23 May 71R I) 4.
communications could be said to be the study and practice of
interchanging ideas, individual to individual, individual to group,
group to individual, and group to group. (HTLTAE, p. 1) Abbr. Comm.

COMMUNICATION BUREAU, 1. the communication bureau has the cycle
of receiving, logging and sending or distributing all comm,
telexes, people, packages Internal and external. The cycle is (1)
m, (2) log, (3) send on the outflow to other points and (1)
receive, (2) check, (3) distribute, on the inflow from other
points. (CBO 7) 2, consists of Communication Network Establishment
Branch, Internal Communication Branch, External Communication
Branch, and Transport Branch. (CBO OR) 3. the External
Communication Bureau. (FEBC 1, 7011C17 SO)
COMMUNICATION CENTER, 1. the communication center contains a
basket for each staff member. Each basket is tagged with the
person's name and underneath the name is their post or posts. Each
person is responsible for delivering his own dispatches to the
proper baskets and for picking up daily his own dispatches. In
larger orgs a comm center and separate divisional comm centers may
be instituted. The comm center would consist of one basket for each
division plus a basket for L. Ron Hubbard and an outer org
out-basket. Each divisional comm center is placed in the divisional
working area with a basket for each staff member in that division
plus a divisional in-basket and a divisional out-basket. An HCO
dispatch courier would be responsible for delivering
94
dispatches into the divisional in-baskets and from the divisional
out-baskets into the comm center baskets. The Sec Sec is
responsible for the distribution of dispatches from the divisional
in-basket to staff members' baskets. (HCO PL 4 Jan 66 III) 2. a
communication center is useful only when it centers and channels
all communications of specific kinds from the public to the
organization and the organization to the organization. (An organism
with more than one brain does not survive well. All Communication
channels must center in one room and area for all departments.) The
types of communication to be handled thus are as follows: (1)
callers in person, (2) callers by phone, (3) written dispatches
within the organization to other parts of the organization, (4)
personal letters to organization members, (5) posted orders and
notices, (6) messages for staff from public to staff or staff to
staff. (HASI PL 9 Apr 57)
COMMUNICATION COURSE, gives people a reality on Scn and teaches
communication formula by dummy auditing. (HCO PL 12 Oct 62)
COMMUNICATION FORMULA, the formula of Communication is: cause,
distance, effect with intention, attention and duplication with
understanding. (HCOBS Apr 73)
COMMUNICATION INSPECTION UNIT, (HCO Division, Department 2) this
post is most active when letters out statistic has dropped.
Communication Inspection Unit inspects all in-baskets and pending
baskets for unanswered communications and reports to the HCO Area
Secretary via Director of Communication what is found. If the
statistic doesn't rise, may go around and empty pending baskets
back onto ones routed back to sender, dev-t or misrouted particles,
and reports what is found to HCO Area Secretary via Director of
Communication. Inspects, when letters out still does not rise,
drawers, file cabinets and other places unanswered comm may be
stored, and reports what is found to HCO Area Secretary via
Director of Communication. (HCO PL 25 Jan 66)
COMMUNICATION INSPECTOR, (HCO Division, Department 2) the purpose
of the Communication Inspector is: to help Ron keep the
organization there by assuring communications in to the
organization are answered The Communication Inspector has as his
primary concern ferreting out jammed inflow lines and getting
letters flowing. (HCO PL 25 Jan 66 II)

(3) conference. (HCO PL 25 Oct 71 I)
COMMUNICATIONS AIDE, CS-1. (FO 1031)
COMMUNICATIONS DIVISION, this fast division in actual fact is the
Communications Division. It's called HCO with us but it's the
Communications Division. This is analogous to getting things
communicating as you would have to do in putting together any plant
or factory. You'd first have to have something where people could
get into communication with somebody about what you were doing
otherwise nothing would happen thereafter. (SH Spec 77, 6608C23)

COMMUNICATIONS SECRETARY, Division 1, Communication Division is
headed by the Communications Secretary (in the Dianetic Counseling
Group). (BPL 4 Jul 69R VI)
COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM, 1. a communications system is not only the
nervous system but also the brain of an organization - that is, it
forms the medium, the mass of tissue through which the planning
mind of the organization (all those individuals who originate
plans, from the greatest to the smallest) operates. A mind cannot
operate without memory. Whether that mind is running an organism or
an organization, it must be able to communicate with its past.
Memory is absolutely essential to the operation of an organization.
(HTLTAE, p. 15) 2. a communications system is a reason system. It
produces reason on an organizational level, just as the individual
minds of the personnel produce reason on an individual level.
(HTLTAE, p. 64)
COMMUNICATIONS UNIT 1. this contains all comm functions of the
org, such as mimeograph, central files and address, mail and
mailing, the commcenter, the comm system, telephone, reception,

consists of a comm center, a basket as a comm station for every
member of the crew near the place of work and an in-out-basket for
every admin person. The comm center contains a basket for every
crew member. There is also a Comm Communicator. (FO RS 16)
COMMUNICATOR, 1. one who keeps the lines (body, dispatch, letter,
intercom, phone) moving or controlled for the executive. A
communicator's title is always his or her executive's followed by
"LRH's communicator." To that, when there are more than one, may be
added, "for..." being a
95
function or division. The Communicator is to help the executive
free his or her time for essential income earning actions, rest or
recreation, and to prolong the term of appointment of the executive
by safeguarding against overload. Policing compliance for a senior
executive is a vital function of a communicator. (HCO PL 16 Nov 66)
2. Communicator, Department 2, handles all ship's communications,

COMPENSATION, 1. money given or received as an exchange for work
rendered, as in an employer-employee relationship. 2. money, aid,
etc., given as a recompense for injury, loss or to settle a
grievance or injustice.
COMPETENCE, 1. the competence of a person is in direct ratio to
his degree of consciousness and their awareness (now I'm talking
about the eyeball) of their environment. Competence is directly
proportional to those two things. So don't expect a half knocked
out druggy to be very competent. He won't be. Now similarly the
insane are all degrees of competence. There have been some of the
most brilliant geniuses who are utterly screamingly insane. There
have been some of the dumbest boobs that were utterly screamingly
insane. It has nothing to do with it. It's not on the same scale.
We're dealing now with the scale of aberration as the scale of
competence. The number of out-points the guy is carrying around in
his skull is how aberrated he is. It has very little to do with his
sanity, it has everything to do with his competence. How conscious
he is and his width of awareness (can he see?) is what demonstrates
his competence. (ESTO 10, 7203C05 SO II) 2. competence on any given
subject is what a person is not unconscious on, and those things he
can't see he is unconscious on and that determines his competence.
(ESTO 10, 7293C05 SO II) 3. when a person is competent, nothing can
shake his pride. The world can yell, but it doesn't shake him.
Competence is not a question of one being being more clever than
another. It is one being being more able to do what he is doing
than another is. (HCO PL 3 Apr 72) 4. being competent means the
ability to control and operate the things in the environment and
the environment itself. When you see things broken down around the
mechanic who is responsible for them, he is plainly exhibiting his
incompetence - which means his inability to control those things in
his environment and adjust the environment for which he is
responsible - motors. When you see the mate's boats broken up you
know he does not have control of his environment. Know-how,
attention, and the desire to be effective are all part of the
ability to control the environment. (HCO PL 30 Dec 70) S. the
estimation of effort. (2ACC SIB, 5312C22)
COMPETITION, a striving with another or others in the same
business field for leadership in sales, profit, position and
exceptional recognition.
COMPETITOR, one in competition with or rivaling another in the
same business market, striving to advance his product or service as
superior or available at less cost.
COMPILATIONS SECTION, Department 21, Office of LRH. Formed in the
first place with just exactly this purpose and no other purpose: to
help LRH get out the magazine materials and the promotion materials
that he gets out for Scn. (HCO PL 31 Jan 66)
COMPLEMENT, 1. the officially allowed number of persons and the
officially designated posts for an activity, whether an org or a
ship. Without these basic complements orgs get misposted. A
97
complement is the full list of posts and where they belong on the
org board, which must be held. (OODs 3 Nov 71) 2. by name the bet
of men and officers of a ship. it's the number of officers and men
allowed to a ship. But just because you are allowed those guys is
no reason that those are the only guys you have. The word is very
badly misunderstood. It is usually issued as something that we will
try to adjust to. Now if we have got an overmanned area we will say
maximum allowed complement. (ESTO 8, 7208C04 SO II) 3. the maximum
allowed personnel on permanent posts in an organization. (OODs 12
Nov 71) 4. a complement lays down the allowed number of personnel
per division/bureau and the total allowable number for the whole
org. It is the basis for accurate postings to be done to gain
maximum utilization. (FSO 518)
COMPLEMENT BOARD, now you've got the complement board and that is
asking this question: who is double hatted and how many posts are
held from above and how many posts are empty? You do that by
workload. You, for the first time are in an optimum position to be
able to adjust an org by workload. A function board doesn't have
any posts on it. A post board has no names on it and a complement
doesn't have post name or function on it. It says Dissem - four, or
it says Department 4-three. (ESTO 8, 7203C04 SO II)
COMPLETED, (students and pcs completed) completed of course means
only certified or classed or graded. (HCO PL 30 Sept 65)

states the situation, (2) gives all the data necessary to its
solution, (3) advises a solution, and (4) contains a line for
approval or disapproval by myself with my signature. If documents
or letters are to be signed as part of my action, they should be
part of the package, all ready to sign, and each place they have to
be signed is indicated with a pencil mark with a note in the
recommendations saying signatures are needed. (HCO PL 21 Nov 62) 3.
means routed to the board, with all related policy letters clipped
to the requested change and the new policy letter all written ready
for Issue. (HCO PL 17 Nov 64) 4. if a problem is encountered it is
forwarded only with a full recommendation for handling (completed
staff work or CSW). (HCO PL 29 Feb 72) Abbr. CSW.
98
COMPLETE PLANNING, 1. complete planning and programs are
synonymous at this time and programs is the preferred word. (HCO PL
24 Jan 69) 2. a plan would be the design of the thing itself.
Complete planning would be all the targets plus the design. (HCO PL
18 Jan 69 II, Planning and Targets)
COMPLETION, 1. the completing of a specific course or an auditing
grade; meaning it has been started, worked through and has
successfully ended with an award in Qual. (HCOB 19 Jun 71 III) 2. a
final valuable product. (ED 41 FAO) 3. means a finished level or
rundown. (HCO PL 29 Aug 71)
COMPLETION POINTS, see PAID COMPLETION POINTS.
COMPLEXITY, 1. to the degree that a being cannot confront he
enters substitutes which, accumulating, bring about a complexity.
(HCO PL 18 Sept 67) 2. I found that any complexity stemmed from an
initial point of non-confront. This is why looking at organizing
the source of an aberration in processing "blows" it, makes it
vanish. (HCO PL 18 Sept 67)
COMPLIANCE, 1. consists of: (1) agreement on the survival goals
of the group and participation in working towards and accomplishing
them by following the broad procedures laid down in policy and tech
(2) working towards specific goals for one's own post or area which
contribute to the accomplishment of the whole group's goals, by
following the procedures for that post or area as laid down in
policy and/or tech (3) carrying out the legal orders issued one
that forward specific plans, programs and projects that implement
specific policies in order to accomplish a goal or goals of the
group, in an orderly fashion. (4) compliance is a series of
actions, or a specific action, which duplicates what was intended
to happen by the originator of the requirement or order. (BPL 20
Feb 73) 2. the acting in accordance with, or the yielding to a
desire, request, condition, direction, etc.; a consenting to act in
conformity with, an acceding to; practical assent. (BPL 20 Feb 73)
COMPLIANCE EXECUTIVE DIRECTIVE, 1. carries a program on how to
get an LRH issue or issues implemented in an area that by
evaluation has been found to need these issues implemented. May
also carry a project to execute a target in the program. Drawn up
by an area or continental LRH Comm and authorized by CS-7 on Flag
for a local CED. International or continental CEDs are issued from
Flag only and only with AVU authorization. Blue ink on blue paper.
(HCO PL 24 Sept 70R) 2. are for use by area LRH Comms and
continental LRH Comms as well as Senior LRH Comms to, when
necessary, compile a pack of LRH issues and to write a program on
how to get these implemented in the area(s) that, by evaluation,
have been found to need these issues implemented. Even getting in a
single issue requires this handling. When such a program is drawn
up and issued, it shall have the title of: Compliance Executive
Directive, or CED for short. (BPL 24 Jul 73R III) Abbr. CED.
COMPLIANCE REPORT, 1. in practice a compliance report takes the
following form: (1) it is in standard dispatch form routed through
the usual channels. (2) it is headed at the top of the page in the
middle compliance report. (3) it has a brief concise description of
what was done. (4) it has clipped to it all the original orders so
that the originator and communicators on the line can see at a
glance what was ordered, and comparing this with what was done, see
that it is in fact a compliance, a completed cycle. (5) any other
relevant information is also clipped behind, such as a carbon of a
letter written if that was what was ordered. (6) and it is
addressed and goes to the person originating the order, via any
communicator who logs it as a compliance. (7) it contains an
attestation that what was done has been completed; such as "order
attached completed." (BPL 26 Jan 69RA) 2. a compliance report is
exactly that. It is a report of compliance, a completed cycle
reported to the originator done. It is not a cycle begun, it is not
a cycle in progress. It is a cycle completed and reported back to
the originator as done so that the command comm cycle is completed.
(BPL 26 Jan 69RA) 3. a compliance report is made out for each
target as it's done, and the admin belonging to it is attached as
evidence along with any other evidence of completion. (BPL 6 Mar
73)
COMPLY, 1. to merely commence a cycle is not to comply. To merely
make some progress is not to comply. To drive it through to
completion is. And to then report done to the originator is to put
in a compliance report. (BPL 26 Jan 69BA) 2. to act in accordance
with, and fulfillment of, wishes, desires, requests, demands,
conditions, or regulations; to fulfill the wishes or requirements
of; to consent to. (BPL 20 Feb 73)

their differences and reach a compromise agreeable to all
concerned.
CONCILIATOR, in a business or labor dispute, one who acts as an
intermediary between the parties involved to persuade them to
adjust their differences and reach a compromise agreement
satisfactory to all.
CONDITION, 1. a condition is an operating state.
Organizationally, it's an operating state and oddly enough in the
most universe there are several formulas connected with these
states. There are apparently certain formulas which have to be
followed in this universe or you go appetite over tincup. (SH Spec
62, 6505C25) 2. in Scn the term also means the ethics conditions
(confusion*, treason, enemy, doubt, Lability, non-existence,
danger, emergency, normal, affluence, power change or power). The
state or condition of any person, group or activity can be plotted
on this scale of conditions which shows the degree of success or
survival of that person, group or activity at any time. Data on the
application of these conditions is contained in the ethics policies
and tapes of Scn. (BTB 12 Apr 72R) [*The ethics condition of
confusion came later than the date of this BTB in HCO PL 9 Feb 74
and is added here by the editor in order that all the current
ethics conditions are included.]
99
CONDITION I, 1. Condition I is not the same as all hands. One can
carelessly toss off "all hands to anchor stations" and even say
"Condition I anchor stations" without sufficient reason. If it's a
normal anchoring it usually is done in Condition II or even
Condition III with a bosun and a hand at the anchor winch.
Condition I means dangerous operation. You set Condition I when
it's touch and go or may be. The best steersman, the best
navigational team, the best radarman, the best QM, the best
lookouts, the best conning officer, etc., make Condition 1,
Condition 1. Things are dangerous. A dangerous approach to harbor,
a dangerous pass crowded with ships, dangerous waters. A bad storm
at its height. All these and more can demand Condition 1. A damage

Condition is. (FO 2464) 2. by definition, Condition 1, which means
emergencies or periods which are risky, has the best specialists
posted on the bridge and E/R. (OODs 30 Oct 71) 3. a Condition I
bill assigns the most competent person in each case to a key post
to handle any emergency as a team. (OODs 7 Jun 70) 4. Condition I
isn't how you dispose of the crew around the ship. It's the expert
in the right place, no excess people and ready to handle any
goof-up. (OODs 7 Jun 70)
CONDITION II, condition two is an emergency situation or where an
emergency may occur. Half the ship (Port or Starboard) is called up
If they are on 4 hours they are relieved by the other watch - 4 on,
4 off. Continuing storms, bad seas, lots of ships about, docking,
anchoring, a touchy but not really dangerous harbor approach or
docking. Here again the best in that watch for a post is assigned
in that watch. There is a damage control party. A Condition 11
usually comes alongside docks or leaves them. It is adequate to
handle lines, anchor, all other actions including signals. (FO
2464)
CONDITION III, 1. Condition III is considered normal Smooth sea,
no sweat, even a simple anchoring or heaving the anchor when done
with no harbor or breakwater or traffic to contend with. It is
usually 4 (hours) on, 3 off. Or there can be several watches if
lots of officers and people are available. (FO 2464) 2. Condition
III = third of the ship on watch. (FO 80) 3. under way with 3
watches. (BO 34, 16 Jan 67)

divided up into 6 watches, each watch controlling the ship at sea
for two hours on a rotational basis. (FO 2674)

CONDITIONAL SYSTEM, the conditional system does not require
completion of any auditing requirements to graduate. The
certificate received is cross-stamped conditional. The student is
required to interns on that level upon graduation, before going
onto his next course in order to demonstrate his ability to apply
his materials: e.g. a conditional HSDC would interns on On then do
his Academy levels. A student on Academy levels would complete
through IV then interne. (SO ED 401-1 INT)
CONDITIONAL TARGET, 1. there is a type of target known as a
conditional target: if I could just then we could and so
accomplish. This is all right of course until it gets unreal. There
is a whole class of conditional targets that have no if in them.
These are legitimate targets. They have lots of will in them: "We
will and then." A valid conditional target would be "We will go
there and see if the area is useful." All conditional targets are
basically actions of gathering data first and if it is okay, then
go into action on a vital target and operating target basis. (HCO
PL 16 Jan 69) 2. those which set up either/or to find out data or
if a project can be done or where or to whom. (HCO PL 24 Jan 69) 3.
a survey of what's needed or feasible. Survey of what's wanted and
needed. (HCO PL 18 Jan 69 II) Abbr. CT.
CONDITIONS BOARD, a fast flow conditions board posted near the
Master at Arms' desk and visible to the public, giving areas for
the various conditions. The name of a person is typed on a slip and
moved with a thumbtack immediately the condition is assigned. (FO
411)
CONDITIONS CARD, when a whole ship is assigned a condition or a
whole division or department, a conditions card as to that
condition is made out and placed in the file of each personnel
included. (FO 160)
CONDITIONS ORDER, any executive may assign any condition and
improve any condition he assigns to any person immediately junior
to him on his command channel or within his own office or area. To
assign or improve a condition it is only necessary to write the
order and send it to Mimeo or the Duplication Unit which duplicates
it and sends the copies to Dir Comm for issue. An order so issued
is called a Conditions Order and is published on the divisional
flash paper not goldenrod. Where a mimeo or duplication line jams,
an executive may post the order in his own hand-writing on the
staff notice board, filing two copies with the Ethics Officer, all
on his division's color flash paper, using carbon paper and clip
board. (HCO PL 5 Jan 68)
CONFER, to converse, talk together, now always on an important

counsel, consult. (FO 2645-2)
CONFERENCE, 1. the action of conferring or taking counsel, now
always on an important or serious subject or affair. (FO 2645-2) 2.
conferences are called to advise and inform and to ask for advice
and information. (FO 1021) 3. (type of communication routing) this
is a line usually from an executive to the chairman of a governing
body such as Advisory Committee or Executive Committee or Aides
Council or Commanding Officer Conference, etc. It is used for
program clearance or policy requests. (HCO PL 25 Oct 71 I)

developed in conference may get into the system. (HATTIE, p 81)
CONFERENCE LEADER, the person who is in charge of a conference
and upon whom the responsibility is placed for successful
leadership.
CONFESSIONAL CORPS, the function of the corps is to do modern
confessionals on individual staff members or entire staffs of orgs
in the continental area in which the corps is located as directed
by Flag. The purpose of this corps is: to help Ron bring about,
through the skillful application of the powerful tech of modern
confessionals, honest, in-ethics and unafraid org staffs who enable
increased production and high stats to occur. (FO 3276R)
CONFIDENCE, confidence is composed of knowing what other people
do and know they are doing it or will do it. Confidence is
confirmed by continuing survival. (FO 2471)
CONFIDENTIAL COURSES, Grades V, VI, Clearing Course, OT I, OT II,
OT III, OT IV, OT V, OT VI, OT VII, OT VIII, Solo Course, Level VI
SHSBC, Level VII Interneship, Class VIII, and all auditor

CONFIDENTIAL DATA, 1. such material so classified is contained in
power processes, R6EW, Clearing Course, advanced courses and Solo
C/S Course and above. (BPL 20 Sept 67R) 2. from power processing on
up the data is confidential. Up to there, you can release Scn data
as you always have - freely and to everyone. But this last bit is
dangerous in unskilled or uneducated or unscrupulous hands and it
is purely ours. It belongs to the Scientologists who keep the show
on the road and must be available to them when they are ready. (HCO
PL 11 Aug 71 V)
CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL, 1. is data of which the illegal use would
harm us. It is kept by the rule of controlled access. In this
category is all of CIC, telex traffic and files, mission orders,
debrief files, advance course data and ethics files. (FO 1669) 2.
Grade V and above materials are classified as confidential. (BPL 10
Feb 71R)
CONFIRMATION COPY, (telex procedure) a confirmation copy is a
repeat of the message, complete with its reference number, either a
fourth copy of the transmission or an extra copy made up. It is
marked clearly in writing or with a rubber stamp confirmation copy
and routed on dispatch lines to the org or unit to which the telex
was addressed (not to the relay points - to the org of final
destination). if the message was sent to more than one org or unit,
then each must get a confirmation copy. On receipt of confirmation
copies, the communicator of the org or unit receiving them checks
that the original message was received. This is checked against the
telex master files. If receipt is verified, the confirmation copy
is filed. (FO 2557)
CONFONE, a communication which is put through as a confirmation
of a telephone conversation.
101
Without a confone, a telephone conversation cannot get into the
system and must be considered never to have happened. (HTLTAE, p.
119)
CONFORMER, a worker who agrees to limit his output level to that
level tacitly set by his fellow workers and contrary to management
policy. The object is to hide the real output level of each worker
to guarantee continued employment or so that work quotas are not
increased, or where piecework rates are paid, to prevent the
piece-work rate from being lowered by management.
CONFRONT, 1. to stand facing or opposing, especially in
challenge, defiance or accusation. (OODs 27 Apr 72) 2. to face
without flinching or avoiding. (OODs 27 Apr 72) 3. to be able to
see what is or isn't before one. (CBO 190) 4. direct observation.
(HCO PL 18 Sept 67)
CONFRONTING, seeing. (HCO PL 18 Sept 67)
CONFUSION, 1. all a confusion is, is unpatterned flow. The
particles collide, bounce off each other and stay in the area. Thus
there is no product as to have a product something must flow out.
(HCO PL 13 Sept 70 II) 2. could be called an uncontrolled
randomness. Only those who can exert some control over that
randomness can handle confusions. Those who cannot exert control
actually breed confusions. (POW, p. 26) 3. any set of factors or
circumstances which do not seem to have any immediate solution.
More broadly, a confusion in this universe is random motion. (POW,
p. 21) 4. the definition of confusion is simply unstraight lines.
(7201C02 SO) 5. a confusion occurs whenever two or more things
start creating against each other. (POW, p. 85) 6. a confusion is
only a confusion so long as all particles are in motion. A
confusion is only a confusion so long as no factor is clearly
defined or understood. Confusion is the basic cause of stupidity.
(POW, p. 22)
CONFUSION AND THE STABLE DATUM, unless an executive or staff
member fully grasps the basic principles of confusion and a stable
datum then the org board is completely over his head, the reason
for posts is not understood and dev-t becomes routine. A post on
the org board is the stable point. If it is not held by someone it
will generate confusion. If the person that is holding it isn't
really holding it, the confusion inherent in that area on the org
board zooms all over the place near and far. Any executive getting
dev-t knows at once what posts are not held because dev-t is the
confusion that should have been handled in that area by someone on
post With that stable terminal not stable, dev-t shoots about. (HCO
PL 27 Oct 69)
CONFUSION FORMULA, there is a condition below treason. It is a
condition of confusion. The formula of the condition is: find out
where you are. The additional formula for the condition of
confusion is: (1) locational on the area in which one is. (2)
comparing where one is to other areas where one was; (3) repeat
step (1). (HCO PL 9 Feb 74)
CONFUSION LEVEL, you can test promo by its confusion level. If
the public has to read a whole long paragraph to find out what it's
all about, they won't read It. So the delivery of your message has
to be sharp, clear and fast. They have to get your message at once.
Know what your message Is and get it across with the least effort
required by your reading public to grasp what you are saying
instantly. (BPL 18 Jul 72R)
CONGLOMERATE, one large organization made flow. The particles
collide, bounce off each other up of many companies that frequently
operate in and stay in the area. Thus there is no product as widely
diverse fields.

responsible for the ship if anything goes wrong. (FO RS 32) 2. the
Conning Officer is responsible for the ship and crew. Duties: (1)
the Conning Officer single hands the ship while he trains the crew.
(2) he safely puts the ship through its evolutions during all hands

storms and the motion of the vessel, while the OOD keeps the ship
off rocks and shoals and fixed obstructions. (5) the Conning
Officer sees that the ship makes good her distance toward
destination, as safely and comfortably as possible, but within the
time required by operational demands. (6) no pilot or bridge watch
member or engine room errors relieve the Conning Officer of any of
his responsibilities as above. "Con" stands for and is short for
"control." (FO 2111) 3. officer who is directing the ship's
movements and is senior to the OOD. The Conning Officer is the one

CONSEQUENCES ANALYSIS, see ANALYSIS, CONSEQUENCES
CONSERVATION, the cycle of action has at its exact center
conservation. Start, increase, no change, decrease, stop. There is
a complete maybe right in the middle of the cycle of action. That
would be the null between increase and decrease. It would be the
null point between growing and decaying. There is a plateau in
there where something hits. It's an effort to maintain the state.
The way you maintain the state is to have a maybe. You get an
apparent stop which is what we call conservation. The maybe between
growth and decay is conservation. (PDC 61)
CONSERVATIVE, when one is stuck on the time track it may seem
pretty difficult to envision a future. In polities this is called
"reactionary" or "conservative." These mean any resistance to
change even when it is an improvement. The bad old days seem to be
the good old days to such people. Yet the old days will not come
again. One has to make the new days good. (HCO PL 11 Aug 74)
CONSIDERATION, enduring or continuing postulate, that's all a
consideration is. It's a postulate that continues or endures.
(5904C15)
CONSIDERATION, in the case of a contract it is something of value
given or done by one party as an exchange or in consideration of
something of value given or done by another party and without which
the contract is not binding.
CONSIGNEE, a person who is entrusted with goods for custody or
sale. If the goods are to be sold the consignee agrees to pay the
sender or consignor after they are sold.
CONSIGNMENT, the delivery of goods, without transfer of title,
from the owner or consignor to a consignee. After the consignee has
sold the merchandise, he reimburses the consignor keeping a
commission for his services
CONSIGNOR, person who entrusts goods to another, called the
consignee, on the agreement that he does not expect to be paid
until after the articles have been sold by the consignee.
CONSISTENCY, when doing an evaluation, one can become far too
fixated on out-points and miss the real reason one is doing an
evaluation in the first place. To handle this, it is proper form to
write up an evaluation so as to keep in view the reason one is
doing one. This is accomplished by using this form:
SITUATION: _____
DATA: _____
STATS: _____
WHY: _____
IDEAL SCENE: _____
HANDLING: _____
The whole of it should concern itself with the same general
scene, the same subject matter. This is known as consistency. One
does not have a situation about books, data about bicycles, stats
of another person, a why about a other area, a different subject
for ideal scene and handling for
103
another activity. The situation, whether good or bad, must be about
a certain subject, person or area, the data must be about the same,
the stats are of that same thing, the why relates to that same
thing, the Ideal scene is about the scene of that same thing and
the handling handles that thing and especially is regulated by that
why. A proper evaluation is all of a piece. (HCO PL 17 Feb 72)
CONSISTENT EVALUATION, all good evaluations are very consistent -
all on same railroad track. Not pies, sea lions, space ships, but
pies, apples, flour, sugar, stoves. (OODs 24 Feb 75)
CONSULTANT, 1. an instructor who is on duty sporadically or from

CONSULTANT, an outside professional person well-qualified In a
particular field or area who is called upon by businesses for
expert advice. Examples include consultants on personnel
management, economies, marketing, industrial planners,
environmentalists, etc.
CONSULTANT AUDITOR, see CONSULTANT PLAN.
CONSULTANT MISSION, associated with the FLO (continental) is a
consultant mission. This mission is a mission. It has all the
privileges of a mission. It does however have added duties and
responsibilities which are (a) to provide a location in which
prospective Mission Directors and staffs can be trained and
apprenticed on mission actions, and (b) to provide the FLO with
advices as duly consulted and requested by the FLO. (CBO 144)
CONSULTANT PLAN, organizations have at one time or another nearly
gone extinct because they employed outside auditors on an
occasional or "consultant" basis. They keep several auditors "on
call" and when they have a pc for them call them in. This measure
is only an effort to preserve units. It is foolish as it eventually
destroys units. At least three great evils result from "the
consultant policy." (1) there is no way of
104
setting up a staff training program or a staff auditing program
that includes such people. (2) technical result suffers because the
pc is not really given an HGC auditor but someone who is not under
direct control of the Director of Processing. (3) HGC pee often
wander off from the HGC and turn up later in somebody's practice -
even though the org investment in procuring that pc was great. So
there will be no more of this "consultant auditor" idea. (HCO PL 21

WW and the Org Exec Sec WW are senior to the executive secretaries
of orgs. The Continental Liaison Officer is not there to issue
orders to orgs. He is at the service of ergs. HCO Continental
Liaison is the WW communication point for the HCO Executive

called CLOs, will now be called something else. (7205C18 SO) [They
are now called FOLOs.]
CONTINENTAL ORDER, issued by Continental Captain or the
Commanding Officer of a FOLO. Distribution is all Sea Org personnel
in the area. (HCO PL 24 Sept 70R) Abbr. CO.
CONTINENTAL ORGANIZATION, 1. to clarify the functions and purpose
of Scn organizations this was the original intention: Worldwide was
to provide supreme control over Scn and orgs over the world.
Continental Orgs under the guidance of WW took full responsibility
for their continental areas. Central Organizations under the
guidance of Continental took full responsibility for their zones.
Area Organizations took full responsibility for their own areas. WW
founded new Continental Orgs. Continental Orgs founded Central
Orgs. Central Orgs founded Area Orgs. Area Orgs founded Franchise
Centers. This was the original pattern of intention. (LRH ED 1 INT)
2. the comparable order of a senior org cancels the order of or
takes precedence over an org junior to it. The seniority is:
Worldwide, Continental, Zone, Sub-zonal, Area, District Office. The
Adcouncil WW can cancel or takes precedence over an Advisory
Council Continental. An Advisory Council Continental takes
precedence over that of an org junior to it. (HCO PL 13 Mar 66)
CONTINENTAL ORGANIZATION COMMITTEE OF EVIDENCE, the Convening
Authority is the Continental Director It handles matters relating
to any Scn executive in a continental zone. It investigates any
matter requested of it by the WW Committee of Evidence and reviews
any lower organization Committee of Evidence matters or cases in
its zone. (HCO PL 7 Sept 63)
CONTINENTAL RECRUITMENT CHIEF, Continental Recruitment Chief
below FPPO Continental handles the planning and coordination of
FPPO Recruiters and Sea Org org recruiters. (FO 3475) The above FO
was cancelled by FO 3555.1
CONTINENTAL REPRESENTATIVE, the International Advisory Council
would be made up of representatives of continental parts of the
world and executives who represent types of divisions of
organizations. It's about a fifteen-man Advisory Council. That
Adcouncil is composed of Continental Representatives. Now these are
representatives that represent continental areas. In other words
they represent all the organizations and all the Scientologists on
that continent in that continental area. They are specifically the
representatives of the Continental Adcouncil but more importantly
they represent all the other
107
orgs and all those people too. (SH Spec 81, 6611C01)
CONTINGENCY PLANNING, see PLANNING, CONTINGENCY
CONTINUOUS PROCESS PRODUCTION, see PRODUCTION, CONTINUOUS
PROCESS.
CONTINUOUS SERVICE, consecutive service over a period of time in
any Scn official organization i.e., City Office, Central Org (Day
or Foundation) or Saint Hill. In other words, if a staff member
transfers to another org, his service time in the previous org does
count. In a foundation by continuous service is meant continuous
service in the foundation only since the staff member working also
in the day org is paid his service units for such in his day pay.
(HCO PL 21 Jul 66)

CONTRACT PURCHASING, see PURCHASING, CENTRALIZED.
CONTRARY FACTS, when two statements are made on one subject which
are contrary to each other, we have contrary facts. Previously we
classified this illogic as a falsehood, since one of them must be
false. But in doing data analysis one cannot offhand distinguish
which is the false fact. Thus it becomes a special out-point. (HCO
PL 26 Nov 70)
CONTRIBUTION, I work on a theory of contribution. The way to
contribute is to effectively and energetically wear one's hat,
defend one's hat and not let anyone else do one's hat. I contribute
to those who contribute. (FO 4)
CONTRIBUTISM, contributism is a philosophy in itself. You find it
in the Factors. You also would apply it in economics. One
contributes, one is contributed to. By others contributing to
others who then contribute back, one is also benefited. (HCO PL 27
May 71)
CONTROL, the cycle of action of this universe is start, change
and stop. This is also the anatomy of
108
control. Almost the entire subject of control is summed up in the
ability to start, change and stop one's activities, body and one's
environment. (POW, p. 46)
CONTROL AREAS, areas within a fifty-mile radius of a Central Org.
Any auditor within a fifty-mile radius of a Central Org must
operate a District Office with finances completely under Central
Org supervision and pay comparable to org staff. All franchises
within these fifty-mile radius control areas are to be withdrawn by
March 1st, 1963. (HCO PL 14 Feb 63)
CONTROL INFORMATION CENTER, 1. CIC contains all of Flag's
security information (files, telexes, mission orders, etc.) and is
not for everyone's access. Control Information Center does control
information and maintains security for Sea Org operations. (FSO
615-1) 2. the purpose of a CIC is to collect data related to
management from all over, coordinate it by continent and org and
month so that it can be evaluated and on need produce the whys for
high or low stat situations. (CBO 189) 3. the functional definition
of CIC is: CIC is an administrative organization which assembles
data from all points of observation in such a way as to indicate
the inevitable solution. It is like a manual computer, with its
program files, area boards and plotting table. (FO 2192) 4. CIC is
the program files, and statistic and alert information posted on
the boards, and coordinated on the plotting table so that it gives
the inevitable solution, plus some information to make life
interesting for the crew. (FO 2192) S. the prime responsibility of
CIC is the briefing and firing of missions including the
coordination of all items and actions needed to get a mission off.
(FO 1954) 6. the whole essence of CIC is it takes separate channels
of information, summates them for the channel and transfers the
summation to the main board, which then indicates the action
necessary. The main board then can predict, from the summation of
the data and handle an area before it breaks down totally. CIC is a
substitute for a captain. CIC should always know more about it than
Command. (FO 398)
CONTROLLED DAYWORK, (or measured daywork) defines measuring the
optimum amount of work that can be accomplished per day and thereby
arriving at a daily production target.

senior goes down an established checklist, checking off the
qualities of performance and abilities evident to him in a junior's
work,
CONTROLLER, Mary Sue Hubbard. (BPL 16 Aug 73) 2. the post is just
senior to the Guardian. The duties of the post consist of
coordination of all Scn orgs and activities. There is just one
Controller in all Scn, just as there is only one Guardian. The
Controller is appointed by the Founder or in his absence by the
Guardians and Board of Directors in single meeting. The term of the
Office is for life as is that of the Guardian. (HCO PL 21 Jan 69)
CONTROLLER, (also comptroller) the executive in charge of
financial operations for an organization under whose jurisdiction
falls budgetary planning and control, accounting, internal auditing

Communicator is: to find and report situations to the Controller
and to obtain compliance on orders issued by the Controller. AD
Controller Communicators operate under the authority of the
Controller. The immediate senior of the Controller Communicator is

Communicator Flag is the Controller, Mary Sue Hubbard. A
Continental Guardian ranks with but not above or below a Controller
Communicator for his Continental Guardian Office. (BPL 16 Aug 73)
CONTROLLING, the supervision of an activity against a laid down
procedure, standard or policy and the correction of deviations from

level.
CONVENING AUTHORITY, that duly appointed official of Scn who
appoints and convenes a Committee of Evidence to assist him in
carrying out and justly exercising his or her authority, and who

Authority may not be a member of the committee and may not sit with
it and may not interfere with its conduct of business or its
evidence, but may disband a committee he or she convenes if it
fails to be active in the prosecution of its business, and may
convene another committee in its place. The Convening Authority may
not increase penalties recommended by the committee he or she
convenes. (HCO PL 7 Sept 63)

noted in the Cook's Sick call Book with name, date, hour and steps
taken or medicine given and how much. Repeat doses are also noted.
(FO 253)

COOPERATION, cooperation is senior to orders at all times, but
"co" means together. There isn't any together where there is no
understanding of what's occurring. So cooperation depends upon
being able to see and grasp the scene. And the tech to make things
go right. (OODs 5 May 74)
COOPERATIVE, an undertaking wherein a group of people form a
business collectively owned and operated for their mutual benefit,
distributing profits and losses equally to all its members.
COOPERATIVE ADVERTISING, see ADVERTISING, COOPERATIVE.

It does not mean "ordering along with." Before one orders into an
org one should know what orders it is running on. (FBDL 152
Additional, FBDL 160 Additional) 2. working in agreement together.
(7203C02 SO)
COORDINATION AND PRIORITIES SETTING UNIT, 1. (Management Bureau
Flag) all orders are now channeled through a Coordination and
Priorities Setting Unit in the Flag Rep Network and Execution
Branch, where they get checked for accuracy against the current
programs of your org, alignment with priorities, etc. (FBDL 488R)
2. Branch 12A, the Flag Flag Rep Network and Execution Branch
contains a Coordination and Priorities Setting Unit. All orders to
an org must go through this unit for coordination, clearance for
cross orders and priorities setting. In this branch boards are kept
for each org that have on them the current program for the org, any
LRH ED INT programs being worked on, telex and dispatch orders for
the last month, current priorities and any other vital information
pertaining to operating the org. (CBO 377)
COORDINATION BUREAU, 1. the Coordination Bureau establishes,

Coordination Bureau. (FSO 123) 3. consists of Coordinator Branch,
110
Bureau HCO Branch, internal Bureau Supervision Branch, and External
Bureau Coordination Branch. (CBO 23)
COORDINATION CONFERENCE, it is in the interest of network heads
at the FOLO level to maintain full coordination. With the various
reports that come up the network lines, each network head has a
vast amount of data about each org. Pooling that data as a
coordination council and using that to get LRH and Flag programs
executed per policy and CBO on a concerted effort will greatly
improve the effectiveness of FOLO management. The FOLO Networks
hold regular coordination conferences at least three times per
week. The CO FOLO and Management Rep are present. The Coordination
Conference is chaired by the CO FOLO. Any network head may request
a coordination conference at any time to the FR Continental.
Minutes must be kept of each conference with a copy sent to Flag.
(FBDL 488R)
COORDINATOR OF RESEARCH, in addition to other identities and
titles there is that of LRH, Staff Member. As such I give staff
lectures in the org where I am, assist where I can, crack cases and
train students as Coordinator of Research (meaning application of
research). (HCO PL 4 Jan 66 VI)
COORDINATORS, the three offices of the Executive Division are
headed by coordinators rather than directors as in other divisions.
They have the rank and privileges of directors of departments.
Coordinators manage the activities and personnel of the office. The
executive secretaries have first authority in their own offices of
course. In chain of command the exec see forwards all office
administrative matters for his or her office through the
Coordinator. Administrative matters means personnel arrangements,
supervision and duties of personnel in that office and execution of
tasks assigned The executive secretaries do not forward HCO and org
affairs through the Coordinators or the Division 7 Secretary but
through Advisors. (HCO PL 20 Jan 66 II)
CO-OWNERSHIP, joint ownership of a business enterprise or
property.
COPE, 1. I've had an insight into what cope really is. It is the
process of finding and correcting out-points without ever
discovering a why and without organizing any return to the ideal
scene. A caper goes, "Out-point found - correct it; out-point found
- correct it; out-point found - correct it " This perpetual cycle
never finds or corrects why these out-points So it just gets worse
and worse. (OODs 21 Sept 70) 2. to handle whatever comes up. In the
dictionary it means "to deal successfully with a difficult
situation." We use it to mean "to handle any old way whatever comes
up, to handle it successfully and somehow." (HCO PL 22 Sept 70) 3.
the right way to go about it is to have the tech of a job, plan it,
get the materials, and then do it. This we call organising. When
this sequence is not followed, we have what we call cope. Too much
cope will eventually break morale. One copes while he organizes. If
he copes too long without organizing he will get a dwindling or no
product. If he organizes only he will get no product. Coping while
organizing will bit by bit get the line and action straighter and
straighter and with less work you get more product. (OODs 15 May
71) 4. doing the best one can with it. Single-handing goes with
cope. (CBO 133)
COPE ORDER, the correction of an error, an omission or an
out-point. (FEBC 1, 7011C17 SO)

CORPORATION, a legal entity formed by a group of persons who have
obtained a charter to engage in a profit or nonprofit business
under a distinct corporate name. A corporation has legal rights and
privileges separate and distinct from its owners. Primary among
these is that a corporation's owners enjoy a limited liability to
111
the corporation's creditors if a financial disaster occurs. Only

the organization for the week, shows the calculation of the
corrected gross income and the allocation of the corrected gross
income. The corrected gross income is the income available for use
and is calculated by deducting various items as detailed on the
AC-1 form. (BPL 4 Dec 72 IIRB) 2. in a Central Organization, all
the money taken, whether in cash or checks, is banked in the Main
Account at the Central Org's local bank. Ten per cent of this total
taken during one week is remitted to HCO WW. This leaves 90% of the
total take for that week in the Main Account. This balance is
called the corrected gross income. (HCO PL 20 Feb 63) [The above
HCO PL was cancelled by BPL 10 Oct 75 IV.I See ALLOCATION SUM.
CORRECT EXPANSION, expansion which when expanded can hold its
territory without effort is proper and correct expansion. It is
almost impossible to consolidate territory where one was not
Invited in in the first place and force had to be used in order to
expand. (HCO PL 4 Dec 66)
CORRECTION ALERT FORM, form to ensure that quick reporting of
persons or situations requiring correction can occur. A correction

CORRECTION BUREAU, there would be a Qual Bureau in a CLO called a
Correction Bureau and It's Bureau SA. (7109C05 SO)
CORRECTION DIVISION, 1. your next division after Technical
Division is not really Qualifications but Correction. It would be
called the Correction Division or the Adjustment Division but
Qualifications would also serve. (SH Spec 77, 6608C23) 2. Division
5. (HCO PL 8 Nov ERA) 3. Correction unsnarls things, it finds out
the why of things, why a job can't be done, why a target is
stopped, why a mission failed, why a cycle cannot be completed,
etc., etc. Once the why has been found, the cycle, target, etc. can
usually now go ahead and be completed. Up to now it has been
thought that once Qual or Correction stepped in to correct that it
would also now step in, do all the work and complete the cycle.
This is not right. Qual will handle It for you, to the point of
finding why or how come it's jammed, then will hand it back to you
to complete. (FO 1753) 4. purpose of the Correction Division: to
find and restore lost tech and safeguard knowledge; to ensure the
technical honesty and results of Scn and On, correct them when
needful and attest to them when attained. (BPL 7 Dec 71R I) 6.

without undue numbers of refunds and repayments and both public and
org winning fully and we can get on with clearing the planet. (BPL
7 Dec 71R I)
CORRECTION FORMS, (used by the LRH Comm) a very vital tool in
obtaining compliance is the correction form. It is very essential
that a correction form may be started on any bugged or stalled
compliance on the WHOs found by investigation to be not wearing
their hats. The correction form handles the why behind
non-compliance and results in overall improvement of the org. (BPL

When both statistics simultaneously go up or down there is a
possibility that they are both being affected by a common cause.
Once the correlation between statistics has been noted, statistical
management can isolate the factors affecting the statistical
change. Negative correlation is when one stat goes up and another
goes down simultaneously. In this situation there is also a
possible common cause.

overexpenditures or inefficiencies in the utilization of resources
or manufacture of goods.
COSTS, START-UP, costs needed to launch or start a project or
business, usually of a preparatory type that are separate to
running costs to keep the business in operation.
COSTS, STEPPED, a fixed cost that steps up and fixes at a higher
level. This could happen where increased productivity is planned
requiring additional rental of space, vehicles, etc.
COST STUDY, a close study of the various costs incurred to
produce a product or service.
COSTS, TURNOVER (PERSONNEL), the cost resulting from the
replacement and hiring of personnel. This is not only what it costs
to contact, interview and train personnel enough to get them on the
job, but what it costs in decreased production or increased
operating expense due to lack of needed personnel.
COSTS, UNIT, the cost calculated to be a standard for each unit
of production such as cost of a particular service delivered or of
a single product as well as dollar costs per labor hour, per
bushel, ton or applicable measurement.
COSTS, VARIABLE, operating costs which vary directly with any
variance of volume of production or sales or utilization, such as
direct labor and power and materials consumed.
COUNCIL, a group of persons assembled to handle the
administrative and legislative functions of an organization. (FSO
138)
COUNSELING, an effort to help others employing a wide range of
techniques but generally recognized as that activity where a
professional person or counselor causatively helps employees,
students, etc., to resolve their problems and function better as a
result.
COUNSELOR, 1. a professional person skilled in techniques that
assist a person to resolve his problems. Counselors are often
employed by companies as a service to employees and ideally help to
create less troubled, more productive employees. 2. one who has
knowledge in a specific area and can advise others of how a
situation should be handled or what course of action to follow.
COUNTER CHECK, a check written by someone on a check form other
than that supplied by his bank for his own account. Counter checks
are just blank check forms obtainable in stationery stores, dime
stores, etc. Counter checks are legal and valid in most states,
providing they are properly made out and drawn on an account which
does exist and which has an adequate balance to cover. A counter
check is also a "postulate" check if the person either has no bank
account or inadequate balance in his account to cover. (CO 1 US)
COUNTER-EFFORT, contrary action or effort to your action or
effort. (HCO PL 1 Oct 70)
COUNTERFOILS, (stubs) example: checks when cleared and back from
bank must be taped in to original check book into their stubs
(counterfoils). (HCO PL 23 Jan 66)
COUNTER-INTENTION, (form of arbitrary) the receipt of a
communication is an extremely important part of the sequence of
actions that results in a compliance. Common reasons for the
non-receipt of a communication is that arbitraries (or arbitrary
factors) exist in the area. Counter-intention means a determination
to follow a goal
115
which is in direct conflict with that known to be the goal of the
originator and the goals of the group (either a big goal or a
little one). (BPL 10 Nov 73 II)
COUNTER-POLICY, 1. illegal policy set at unauthorized levels jams
the actions of a group and are responsible for the inactivity,
non-production or lack of team spirit. Counter-policy independently
set jams the group together but inhibits its operation. (HCO PL 6
Dec 70) 2. (form of arbitrary) the receipt of a communication is an
extremely important part of the sequence of actions that result in
a compliance. Common reasons for the non-receipt of a communication
is that arbitraries (or arbitrary factors) exist in the area.
Counter-policy means a local pulley that demands a procedure or
sequence of actions be followed that prohibits or inhibits the
carrying out of the origination that is expected to be followed by
a source which is senior to the originators of the counter-policy.
(BPL 10 Nov 73 II) 3. cancelling published orders or PLs or FOs or
FSOs or OOD orders by rumor or inventing orders or policies that
were never published and attributing them to Command. (OODs 20 Jan

COURIER, 1. there are five major types of Mission Orders. These
types are (1) observation mission orders, (2) situation handling
mission orders, (3) garrison mission orders, (4) project mission
orders, (5) courier mission orders. The term "missionaire" is used
for the personnel who conduct the first four types and courier is
used for the last type (FO 2936) 2. the name courier implies
outgoing mail. A courier is on the ship schedule and leaves with
mail, etc., at routine times. (FO 2494) 3. taking mail to and fro
from org to org or from org to Flag would be done by a courier. (FO
2505)
COURIER LINES, courier hues carry mail. Couriers travel normally
by air. (FO 2611R)
116
COURIER MISSION ORDERS, couriers escort or carry people or things
to ensure safe arrival. All couriers go on mission orders, are
briefed, debriefed. Courier mission orders are usually the same
pattern but need rewriting when new routes are used. (FO 2936)
COURSE, in Scn a course consists of a Checksheet with all the
actions and material listed on it and all the materials on the
Checksheet available in the same order. A course must have a
supervisor. He may or may not be a graduate and experienced
practitioner of the course he is supervising but he must be a
trained course supervisor. The final and essential part of a course
is students. The final valuable product of any course is graduates
who can apply successfully the material they studied and be
successful in the subject. (HCO PL 16 Mar 71R)
COURSE ADMINISTRATOR, 1. the course staff member in charge of the
course materials and records. (HCOB 19 71 III) 2. a supervisor in a
course of any size has a course administrator who has very exact
duties in keeping up course admin and handing out and getting back
materials and not losing any to damage or carelessness. The Course
Admin is in charge of routing lines and proper send off and return
of students to cramming or auditing or ethics. (HCO PL 16 Mar 71R)
3. the Course Administrator's purpose is to help the Course
Supervisor keep all bodies correctly arranged, placed or routed and
to keep all course materials, folders, records, checksheets,
invoices and dispatches handled, filled out and properly filed.
(HCO PL 16 May 69) 4. the supervisor is there to get the course
materials fully understood and applied by the student. The Course
Administrator's function of service to students is equally
important The Course Administrator must see that the course
materials are available and in sufficient quantity and quality.
(BPL 11 May 69R)
COURSE COMPLETION, a course completion is a checksheet not a
condition or classification. (HCO PL 22 Mar 65, Current Promotion
and Org Program Summary Membership Rundown Annual Membership)
COURSE DEPARTMENT, 1. the Course Department procures, trains and
graduates students of Scn (HCO PL 13 Dec 64, Saint Hill Org Board)
2. this, under the Course Supervisor, is responsible for about one
third of the income received at Saint Hill. It consists of its
technical and administrative staff, including the Course Secretary,
Registrar and Letter Registrar (HCO PL 28 May 64)
COURSE INSTRUCTOR, Course Supervisor. (HCO PL 17 May 65)
COURSE PROGRAMS DIRECTOR, arranges all TV programs, tape plays,
live lectures and all social programs. (HCO PL 18 Dec 64, Saint
Hill Org Board)
COURSE REGISTRAR, acts as registrar and Letter Registrar for the
Course. Is responsible for procuring new students and the income
level of the department. (HCO PL 18 Dec 64, Saint Hill Org Board)
COURSE SUPERVISOR, 1. basically, someone who in addition to his
other duties can refer the person to the exact bulletin to get his
information and never tells him another thing. (6905C29) 2. the
instructor in charge of a course and its students. (HCOB 19 Jun 71
III) 3. a course must have a supervisor. He may or may not be a
graduate and experienced practitioner of the course he is
supervising but he must be a trained Course Supervisor. He is not
expected to teach. He is expected to get the students there, rolls
called, checkouts properly done, misunderstoods handled, finding
what the student doesn't dig and getting the student to dig it. The
supervisor who tells students answers is a waste of time and a
course destroyer as he enters out data into the scene even if
trained and actually especially if trained in the subject. The
supervisor is not an "instructor," that's why he's called a
supervisor. A supervisor's skill is in spotting dope-off, glee and
other manifestations of misunderstoods, and getting it cleaned up,
not in knowing the data so he can tell the student. (HCO PL 16 Mar
71R) 4. the Course Supervisor oversees all Course Department
activities and is directly responsible for producing course income,
the training of students and graduating auditors at a high level of
technology and good will. (HCO PL 13 Dec 64, Saint Hill Org Board)
COURSE SUPERVISOR CORRECTION LIST, HCO Bulletin 27 March 1972R,

INT)
COURT MARTIAL, Committee of Evidence. (FO 236)
COURT OF APPEAL, see FOLO LAST COURT OF APPEAL.
COURT OF ETHICS, 1. a Court of Ethics may be convened by any
Ethics Officer. Any Scientologist may be summoned before a Court of
Ethics. The summons is issued as an HCO Ethics Order. It must state
when and where the person is to appear. (HCO PL 26 May 65 III) 2. a
Court of Ethics or Executive Court of Ethics is not a fact finding
court. One is convened solely on statistics and known evidence.
(HCO PL 26 May 65 III) 3. a form of ethics hearings based on known
data and convened on misdemeanors or crimes and authorized to
direct discipline such as suspension from training or processing,
payment of damages, restitution of wrongs, etc. (BTB 12 Apr 72R)

parties; legal contract. 2. a particular clause in such an
agreement or contract.
COVERAGE ANALYSIS, see ANALYSIS, COVERAGE.
COVERING UP SITUATIONS, consists of actions to do just that,
ranging from denial that a situation exists or data on it is not to
hand, when it does exist and data on it is available - whether
perceived or not, to ignoring situations, or failing to take
actions to detect and locate situations in one's area. (FSO 738)
CPA, 1. Certified Public Accountant. 2. Critical Path Analysis.
CR, 1. credit. 2. creditor.
CRACKED CASE, case unmistakably improved and applicant is fully
aware of it. (HCO PL 26 Jan 64)

training in order to make or assemble precision parts to attain the
product. Silversmithing and watch-making are crafts.
CRAFTSMAN, 1. a highly skilled person who through substantial
education and experience in a particular area is now accomplished
in the range of activities covering all phases of producing the
product of his trade. 2. a person who has attained technical
perfection but has not yet attained artistic perfection in his
trade.
CRAFT TRAINING, see TRAINING, CRAFT.
CRAMMING, there are two areas of cramming: Scientologist of the
status of officer or below may be (1) tech cramming, (2) admin
cramming. There
117
are two basic types of cramming: (a) to rapidly prepare a person
for post or technical action, through intensive study, word
clearing and drilling on key materials, (b) to rapidly correct a
person after the fact of an error or flub, by finding the why, and
handling that why with study and word clearing of the particular
data involved and drilling the actions to a point of confidence and
competence. This covers cramming orders sent to Dual or originated
by the Cramming Officer or Qual Sec on out-points in the org. (BTB
8 Mar 75 II)
CRAMMING OFFICER, (Correction Division) purpose of the Cramming
Officer is to help LRH to isolate and correct real causes for staff
and student misapplication of technology or policy and see that the
correct data is known, cleared of misunderstoods and drilled to
confident certainty, thus ensuring the technical honesty of the
organization. (BPL 7 Dec 71R I)
CRAMMING SECTION, a section of the Department of Review (Division
S. Department 14). The prime purpose of the Department of Review
and all its sections and units is: to help Ron correct any
non-optimum result of the organization and also to advise ways and
means based on actual experience in the department to safeguard
against any continued poor result from any technical personnel or
the function of the organization. More specifically, the Cramming
Section teaches students what they have missed. (HCO PL 10 Nov 65)
CRASH COSTS, see COSTS, CRASH.
CRAZY PEOPLE, people who explain how wrong it is all going and
who have reasons why and who aren't putting it right are the real
crazy people in the universe. The only ones crazier than they are,
are the ones who are quite happy to have everything fail and go
wrong with no protest from them. And the only ones even worse are
those who work endlessly to make things go wrong and prevent
anything from going right and oppose all efforts instinctively.
(HCOB 19 Aug 67)
CREDIT, 1. credit does not entirely deal with money. It has
everything to do with confidence and reliability. (HCO PL 23 Jan
65) 2. the word credit comes from the Latin creditum meaning
something entrusted to another - a loan. In book-keeping the word
is used to mean any right-hand entry made to an account but the
making of such right-hand entries does not necessarily mean the
recording of a loan. In fact, when you make a right-hand entry to
an impersonal account it
118
means the recording of an outflow of a most, service or money
particle; it does not mean the recording of a loan (BPL 14 Nov 70
III)
CREDIT ACCOUNT, the credit account is established as a service of
Division 3. It is a savings recount like a banking establishment
delivers. Any member of the ship's company may use the service and
are encouraged to do so as it is a safe place to save one's money,
(FSO 621-1)
CREDIT BALANCE, a credit balance occurs when the sum of the
credit entries exceeds the sums of the debit entries. (BPL 14 Nov
70 IV)
CREDIT CARD, usually a wallet size identification card that
allows a person to buy items or obtain services on credit simply by
showing a retailer the card and signing the blip The card is backed
by a credit card company which pays the bill and bills the credit
card owner. Usually purchases made with a credit card are interest
free for one month after which interest is payable.
CREDIT COLLECTED, 1. credit collected includes collection for
Qual services and any other services given on credit, freeloader
collections, and any monies owed to the org for services or sales.
(HCO PL 12 Mar 71 II) [The above HCO PL was cancelled by BPL 10 Oct
75 IX. 2. (Flag) this includes amounts collected for Flag on-board
services or manufactured items, books, tapes, etc. (It does not
include management fees even though these are on the same
statement. They should be on a separate statement in the accounts
file of the org.) (ED 103 FAO)
CREDIT CONTROL, any system of controlling the amount of credit
extended to a customer or the total of credit extended to
customers. This would include requiring credit references, limiting
the amount of credit available to a customer, increasing the
efficiency of collecting debts due to credit extended, etc.
CREDIT MANAGER, that executive responsible for determining a
customer's credit worthiness and ability to pay off credit
extended.
CREDITOR, a person who advances credit or to whom a debt is owed.
CREDIT OUTSTANDING, the extent of credit allowed to a customer by
a company which includes goods on order as well as goods received.
CREDIT RATING, a rating or estimation of how much credit may be
extended to a person or firm based upon past performance in paying
off debts and present capacity to do so.
CREDIT SALE, a transaction where the seller extends credit to the
buyer to purchase goods or services. The buyer agrees to pay off
what is owed to the seller in regular installments. In a credit
sale the buyer becomes the legal owner of what he purchases at the
time of the sale.
CREST, the crest is actually the insignia that a knight of old
wore on the top of his helmet and frequently also affixed to the
top of his horse's bridle. It could be as simple as a tuft of
colored feathers or as complex as a representation of a leaping
lion carved out of wood. In some coats of arms, in fact, the helmet
itself is actually represented as part of the coat of arms. In the
Sea Org coat of arms, however, we are not a military sort of group,
the helmet is not represented, but simply the cross of the eight
dynamics. (FO 3350)
CREW, when we say crew, we normally mean all below officer rank.
(BO 34, 16 June 67)
CREW MORALE OFFICER, he is the Captain's assistant in matters of
crew welfare and morale. Pride is to be built up by the Crew Morale
Officer. (ED 240-7 Flag)
CREW STUDENT AND PC LINES, lines handled by routing forms and are
similar to but not the same as public lines, as the crew are
receiving their training and auditing as SO members and are not
paying for the service but are expected to do their post and WQSB
duties and are assigned to duty aboard even if the assignment is
one of full time study. (FSO 137)
CRIMANON, Crimanon has the purpose to ensure that reforms in
criminal laws and prison systems come about. Crimanon is dedicated
to the successful rehabilitation of prisoners to make them useful
members of society. Crimanon is completely reversing the 80%
recidivism of criminals with fantastic success. (LRH ED 256 INT)
CRIME, 1. the action of the insane or the action of attempting
seizure of product without support. Example: robbers who do not
support a community seek to rob from it supporting funds. (HCO PL
25 Mar 71) 2. stems totally and entirely from lack of belonging and
understanding that to which one belongs. The criminal or juvenile
gang is a substitute for society. It is an outlaw pack at the
throat of that which forced it not to belong. (HCO PL 16 Sept 70)
3. crime is directly the result of a lack of hat and training on
the hat. (FO 2580) 4. action without inspection. (SH Spec 90,
6112C07) 5. crone might be defined as the reduction of the survival
level along any one of the eight dynamics. (SOS, Bk. 2, p. 33) 6.
there are two types of crime. There's the crime of commission and
the crimes of omission and in modern society they pay very little
attention to the crimes of omission. The penalty is usually awarded
to a person really for two reasons: one is for being there and the
other for communicating. Now that is the normal penalty in this
society. If you want to reduce any crime down, it was basically
composed of those two elements: being there and communicating. But
there are cranes of not being there and not communicating, too. The
society doesn't pay much attention to these. (SH Spec 73, 6608C02)
CRIME REPORT, staff member report of any crane noted or
suspected, but if suspicion only it must be so stated. (HCO PL 1
May 65)
CRIMES, these cover offenses normally considered criminal. Crimes
are punished by convening Committees of Evidence and may not be
handled by direct discipline. Crimes may result in suspension of
certificates, classifications or awards, reduction of post, or even
dismissal or arrest when the crime clearly warrants it. But such
penalties may not be assigned by direct discipline. Certificates,
classifications or awards may not be cancelled for a crime. (HCO PL
7 Mar 65 III)
119
CRIMINAL, 1. the criminal, the suppressive person (same thing) is
trying to get even with people. That's his common denominator. He
does it by covert omissions or overt violence. It all amounts to
the same thing. (HCO PL 7 Dec 69 II) 2. real criminals may have bad
meters but crimes are often so unreal to them that they do not read
(meters' needles read only on things within the reality or
borderline reality of a person), and the reality level of a
criminal is too bad for reads to occur in a majority of cases. (HCO
PL 15 Nov FOR)
CRIMINAL RECORD, one with the police for the commission and
imprisonment for felony. The fact of a crime is irrelevant if not
seen as a crime by law. (HCO PL 13 Mar 69)
CRIMINAL THINK, whether theft or threat or fraud is used, the
criminal think is to get something without putting out anything.
(HCO PL 4 Apr 72)
CRITICAL PATH ANALYSIS, see ANALYSIS, CRITICAL PATH.
CRITICAL THOUGHTS, these are always only indicators that the
person being checked has committed an overt against what he or she
is criticizing. Critical thoughts, comments and attitudes toward
something indicate always a prior actual overt. (BPL 3 Feb 62R)
CROSS, the symbol of the cross has been widely used in symbolic
tradition, and with many interpretations given to it. The many
forms of the word "cross" itself, however, traditionally are said
to derive from (come from) a basic root word meaning "light of the
Great Fire." The distinctive cross of the Church of Scientology is
symbolic because of its eight points, of the eight dynamics. Above
the shield of the Sea Org coat of arms, it not only symbolizes the
Sea Org member's devotion to the aims of the Church of Scientology,
but also his commitment to the greatest good for the greatest
number of dynamics. The cross's position above the shield also
indicates that Sea Org is a religious fraternity within the
formalized structure of the Churches of Scientology. (FO 3350)
CROSS DIVISIONS, one person in two different divisions. (HCO PL 9
Mar 71 II)
CROSS-HATTING, you're trying to hat this person as one thing and
somebody has crossed your lines and is batting him as something
else. That is one of the favorite tricks of a suppressive person:
"You really don't want to be here, what
120
you really want to be doing is waffle, waffle, waffle...." (ESTO
10, 7203C05 SO II)
CROSS-ORDERING, cross-ordering is where juniors are issuing
contrary or confused orders into an area where an executive
responsible for an area issues an order. Programs cannot exist or
be executed. (HCO PL 23 May 68, WW Ad SH Recombined (Dead file 15
July '68))
CROSS-ORDERING POLICY, cross-ordering policy is committed when
any action is ordered done that violates a policy that should be
followed in the situation, or that is ordered out of an illegal
policy where standard policy exists. (FSO 788)
CROSS ORDERS, 1. a type of dev-t where juniors issue so many
orders unknown to a senior and across his lines that a senior's
orders are obscured or lost. Things get very confused, very active
but non-productive. (HCO PL 27 Jan 69) 2. senior orders unattended
because of different junior orders. (HCO PL 24 Feb 69) 3. (form of
arbitrary) the receipt of a communication is an extremely important
part of the sequence of actions that results in a compliance.
Common reasons for the non-receipt of a communication is that
arbitraries (or arbitrary factors) exist in the area. Cross-order
means an order received from a local person who is junior to the
originator of the order or policy that is to be duplicated and
complied with, which is contrary to the senior order but is not
cancelled (as it should be) in favor of the senior order. (BPL 10
Nov 73 II)
CROSS POLICY, operating on policy contrary to that of management.
(FO 2626)
CROSS TARGETS, a type of dev-t where the senior's target system
is neglected due to conflicting targets being set on lower levels
(HCO PL 27 Jan 69)
CROSS-TRANSFERRING, the whole board can be thrown askew and chaos
made in the ship by cross-transferring. This is pure destruction.
By cross-transferring is meant shifting several posts because one
is shifted and across divisions, i.e a Qual personnel is made PRO.
A steward is transferred to Qual. An HCO person is trasferred to
steward. Three transfers all to fill in one gap. In practice
somebody new should be fed into Division 6 and a Division 6 person
promoted to PRO. (FO 2127)
C ROUTING, goes up to one's org superior or superiors on channel
as per org board only. One's own superiors can send it across if
they wish, to their similar post in the other org but it cannot be
so routed by the original sender. Do not go up in own org and
address across to a superior post than your own in another org. It
must only be addressed to superiors in one's own org. Dispatches so
routed are clearly marked C Routing and have the proper vias for
one's own org marked on it by the sender for forwarding inside his
own org. (HCO PL 13 Mar 65 II)
CRUSADE, type of article other than straight news usually
included in a newspaper. A crusade is an attempt by a newspaper to
service the public interest. There have been crusades as long as
there have been newspapers. Often a crusade will result from
investigatory reporting. A bad spot is turned up, and the paper
will work as a team to handle that bad spot. Crusades are a
traditional part of the newspaper's hat. (BPL 10 Jan 73R)
CRUSH SELL, over-do the hard sell technique and you wind up with
crush sell (bodily force, duress, threats, etc.) and an ARC broken
field. Go to the other extreme called soft sell and you'll wind up
with no business, no income and an ARC broken field. (CBO 126)
CRYPTOANALYST, a professional code and cipher breaker usually
employed by governments ordinary units and one who can and does
break codes and ciphers without having the original code or cipher.
(HCO PL 11 Sept 73)
CRYPTOGRAM, a cryptogram (hidden meaning) is something written in
code or cipher. (HCO PL 11 Sept 73)
CRYPTOGRAPHER, someone who uses codes and ciphers. (HCO PL 11
Sept 73)
CS, (abbreviation for Case Supervisor). It means one of two
things depending on context. (a) that person in a Scientology
Organization who directs and oversees the auditing of preclears
including the programming of cases (the setting out of a series of
auditing actions in correct sequence for each case), the specific
written directions for each session, the grading of sessions, and
the correction of auditors by sending to cramming when departures
from standard tech occur, (b) C/S also means the written
instructions of a Case Supervisor, in this context, the
abbreviation form only is used. (BPL 4 Dec 71R III)
CS-1, 1. (HCO Aide) from CS-1 stems the network and know-bow of
all HCOs in the world in SO and
121
Scn orgs. (FO 2376) 2. I expect these things from CS-1 quite in
addition to "regular duties" (a) to see that personnel exists in
adequate quantity and that it is being properly trained and
apprenticed, (b) to see that senior officers aboard and in outer
areas are in-ethics, on post and producing, (e) to note and get
handled out-ethics scenes in orgs. (FO 3179) 3. Communications

functional, busy and effective and on policy and that squirrel
registration does not occur, (b) to keep books flooding out, (e) to
keep central ides and addresses up-to-date, properly tabbed and in
use, (d) to keep the money flooding m. (FO 3179) 2. the duties and
responsibilities of Division 2 in Scn orgs and Sea Org
organizations are now under CS-2. All matters concerning Division 2
- promotion to OF, OF, org magazines, letter reg functions, reg
functions and publications are sent to CS-A for handling. (FO 2270)
3. Training Aide. (BPL 8 May 69R III)
CS-3, 1. Finance Aide (CS-F) is located on the org board in
Division VII. Her area of responsibility is that of Finance Of does
and FBOs. Treasury Aide (CS-3) is located on the org board over
Division 3. Her area of responsibility is that of Treasury Division
3s. The Finance Aide will no longer carry the title of CS-3 but
will be posted as CS-Finance. Treasury Aide will assume the title
of CS-3 which is appropriate for her position on the org board.
(FDD 18 Treas INT) 2. I expect of CS-3 that she will keep the SO
viable and reserves mounting. This is in addition to her regular
duties. Of Treasury Aide, I expect the following, quite in addition
to "regular duties" (a) to keep logistics flowing and crews
uniformed, (b) to keep all outstanding money in the world collected
up and not back-date which destroys it, (e) to get proper FP known
and used in every area. (FO 3179) [The above duties of CS-3 later
became the duties of Finance Aide and the above duties of Treasury

1972, Clarification, of Titles, which laid out the duties of
Finance Aide and merged the posts of Treasury Aide and CS-3 into
one post called CS-3.] 3. financial matters are assigned to CS-3,

take the actions necessary to handle, (b) to keep tech and admin
data flowing to orgs and known and used, (e) to effectively handle
by whatever means failures on the part of local and outer terminals
to understand and apply tech and admin data. (FO 3179) 2. the post
of CS-4 will be fined as the opposite number to Tech Div 4 and Ship

CULTURAL LAG, an example is Dr. Sammelweis's discovery of the
cause and cure of children's fever. For over a had a century after
that women still died in agony after childbearing. Eventually the
culture caught up to it and the illness which had accounted for a
huge percentage of female deaths ceased to exist. Dr. Sammelweis's
discovery of its prevention was "ahead of its time." Pathetically,
scoffed and disbelieved, he even died to prove he was right. (HCOB

CUMULATIVE INSANITY, the actual point between where a person who
is sane goes thereafter insane is a very precise point and it's
when he begins to stop something. At that moment he is insane. Now
he is Insane on that one subject at first and then he can get
another idee fixe and become insane on another subject and you do
get cumulative insanity but there is no doubt of his insanity on
that one subject. (6711C18)
CURRENCY SPECULATOR, a person who exchanges one currency for
another in order to profit from fluctuations in exchange rates.
CURRENCY UNIT, we defame a currency unit as the full cost of one
auditing hour at the local per policy cost. (At this time for
example this is $50 in the US.) (BPL 10 Sept 65R)
CURRENT ASSETS, see ASSETS, CURRENT.
CURRENT BILLS FILE, every firm or person - even staff members,
has a place in our accounts files in a separate file folder. One
form or person = one folder. All records, bills, letters, etc.,
relating to such are placed in this person or company's file. Any
bank or other loan has its own file. Cancelled checks and bank
statements are kept in their own files by account. But, where
possible, a photostat of each back and front is made and feed with
the firm folder to which it was issued. So are invoice and
disbursement copies also filed as they apply in these files. A
summary sheet of billing and payments to one firm is kept in the
folder of that firm. (HCO PL 27 Jan 60)
CURRENT EVALUATIONS, those evaluations that apply to the
evaluated org or area in present time, and in which the why and

CURRENT RATIO, a ratio of an organization's current assets to its
current Abilities. This figure is used as an indicator of an
organization's working capital and ability to pay off debts. The

calculated into it and a cash/bills ratio would be a better
Indicator to use.
CUSTODIAN OF TECHNOLOGY, the HCO Area Secretary provides the
Central Organization with all needful technology, bulletins, tapes,
records, books (for library) and data so that the Central Org can
give the highest quality of service. That HGC auditors use allowed
processes well and with the best presentation is a primary concern
of HCO. The HCO Area Secretary sees to this personally and
consistently. That students are instructed properly and in
accordance with standard processes, and that LRH tape or records
are played on every course is of primary importance to HCO The HCO
Area Secretary sees to this personally and consistently. Technology
given in public lectures and performances must be standard and this
is of deep concern to HCO when it is not. The HCO Secretary is the
Custodian of Technology in any Central Organization. (HCO PL 13 Jan

income bracket, etc.) that can then be addressed more directly
through advertising, promotion and marketing techniques.
CUSTOMS BROKERS, are specialists in the paperwork of getting
things through customs with the minimum of cost and the maximum of
speed. When necessary they also apply for government' licenses for
the import or export of the goods they are handling. However, they
never physically touch the goods themselves. (FO 2738)
CUSTOMS DRAWBACK, same as drawback.
CUTATIVE, 1. after 1966 when I left the post of Executive
Director WW, a new condition set of Checksheets, processes,

impulse, to coin a word; shortening things in order to produce a
quicker result. (HCO PL 30 May 70, Important Cutatives) 2. an
invented word to mean the impulse to shorten or leave out or the
thing left out. (HCO PL 26 Sept 70 III)
CUTBACK, a reduction in the level of production or activity
usually resulting in the laying off of personnel.
CYCLE, anything which has a beginning, a middle and an end. (FO
2528)
CYCLE, cycle is a regular series of events that occur over a
regular or sometimes irregular period of time. The business cycle
consists of: prosperity, decline, depression and recovery. The
amount of time a company or nation spends in any portion of the
business cycle is attributable directly to management.
CYCLE BILLING, a system of billing whereby a portion or
percentage of a firm's debtors are billed with statements each day,
week, etc., in a relatively continuous cycle as opposed to trying
to bill all debtors at one time such as at the end of each month.
This type of billing spreads out the workload and payment of bids.
CYCLE OF ACTION, 1. the cycle of action has at its exact center,
conservation. Start, increase, no change, decrease, stop. That
really is the cycle of action. There is a complete maybe right in
the middle of the cycle of action. That would be the null between
increase and decrease. It would be the null point between growing
and decaying. There is a plateau in there where something hits.
It's a effort to maintain the state. (PDC 61) 2. the creation,
growth, conservation, decay and death or destruction of energy and
matter On a space. Cycles of action produce time. (PXE, p. 3) 3.
start, change and stop comprise a cycle of action. (POW, p. 41)
CYCLE OF ACTION OF LIFE, the cycle of action of life is creation,
survival and destruction. Survival could be said to be any change,
whether in size or in age or in position in space. The essence of
survival is change. Creation is of course starting, destruction is
of course stopping. Thus we have in Scn two very useful cycles of
action, the first of them being start, change and stop, and the
more detailed one being create, survive, destroy. Start, change and
stop imply the conditions of a being or an object. Create, survive,
destroy imply the intention of life towards objects. (POW, p. 42)
CYCLE OF BOOMS AND DEPRESSIONS, there is a phenomenon that takes
place and that is the periodic cycle which the communists call the
cycle of booms and depressions without which communism couldn't
exist. And the cycle of a boom and depression is created by the
outflow and answer cycle of the department. You don't have any
answers coming in so you sit there and outflow very heavily. Then
your mail beefs up and you spend your time answering the letters
and you don't outflow and after a while business drops off and goes
in the trough on the curve and then you get anxious and promptly
outflow which brings in lots of business and replies but no
outflow. (5812C16)
CYCLE OF CONTROL, see CYCLE OF OBSERVATION.
CYCLE OF DISESTABLISHMENT, it has been long proven that constant
transfers of
125
personnel - also known as "musical chairs" - and frequent demotions
or dismissals cause a situation of decline in an org, and winds up
with staffs: (a) not getting fully hatted and trained on the
actions and functions of one post, (b) not gaining the experience
they need on the post to learn all the ropes, (e) thus being left
with misunderstoods on that post or area, (d) and the same
occurring in rapid succession on other posts. In such a situation
one winds up finally with confused staff, slow producers due to
earlier unhandled misunderstood words, lack of hatting as the
Hatting Officer can't keep up, lack of personnel programming as
they don't stay long enough on any one post to complete their
program for that post. This then leads to unstable terminals, which
brings about weak internal lines and reflects on the field by lack
of new bodies or of they do show, lack of sign-ups, and finally,
lack of a stable, bright, high morale staff which is producing.
This is the cycle of disestablishment. It doesn't happen overnight.
But once started, it disestablishes with increasing momentum. (BPL
9 Aug 71R II)
CYCLE OF HATTING, the cycle of hatting is hat some and get
production, hat more and get production, hat more and get
production. Hat to
126
total specialization, get production. Hat to more generalized skill
and get production. Hat an activity until it can do own and
everyone else's hat in the activity and get production. You hat to
get a product. (BPL 3 Apr 73R I)
CYCLE OF OBSERVATION, there are certain conditions necessary for
accurate observation. First is a means of perception whether by
remote communication by various comm lines or by direct looking,
feeling, experiencing. Second is an ideal of bow the scene or area
should be. Third is familiarity with how such scenes are when
things are going well or poorly. Fourth is understanding
plus-points or rightnesses when present. Fifth is knowing
out-points when they appear. Sixth is rapid ability to analyze
data. Seventh is the ability to analyze the situation. Eighth is
the willingness to inspect more closely the area of outness. Then
one has to have the knowledge and imagination necessary to handle.
One could call the above the cycle of observation. If one calls
handle number 9 it would be the cycle of control. (HCO PL 18 May
70)
CYCLIC CASE, the cyclic case (gains and collapses routinely) is
connected to a suppressive person. (HCO PL 5 Apr 65)
