GAE, 1. there's a thing called a GAE, which is a gross auditing
error, and GAE is a slang term for being kicked out of the auditing
section. They're returned from the auditing section for heavier
work in practical and theory, bang, and that's called being GAEed.
They've committed a gross auditing error. (6209C03) 2. gross
auditing error (GAE) is the action of the auditing supervisor when
the pink sheet is not completed by the student or when, in the
opinion of the auditing supervisor, the errors being made are so
gross that a preclear is being heavily damaged (such as Auditor's
Code breaches). A GAE may consist of relegating the auditor to the
next lowest class or, if violent and flagrant, and directly against
an instructor's instructions, to the lowest unit of the Academy.

GARRISON MISSION, mission fired from Flag, where the missionaire
will be in the field for an extended period of time. (FO 3136)
GARRISON MISSION ORDERS, when a person is appointed to a duty
post he is given mission orders. At first glance these are like
other MOs. But they are not. One can mix MO types with disastrous
results. A person is sent to duty to continue or improve an
activity. His orders therefore must not be terminable. Instead each
operating target is continuable. They do not end off. Garrison
Mission Orders are chiefly concerned with pokey and the relevant
policy letters (and in CLOs or ships or even in SO orgs to some
degree, with FOs and CBOs and various manuals). As garrison
missionaires have different posts, the duties of that post are
stressed and on-policy is stressed and what the policy is is
stressed. The mission orders are essentially, then, duties to be
taken up in rotation and handled. If you list the main duties of
the post, assemble the relevant policy and list them as ops targets
to be done until all are in maintain, the MOM are good MOM. The
garrison situation is really a major target of working to
stabilize, establish and expand an org
280
so that it is permanent. The key to a garrison mission is then
continue. (FO 2936)

GENERAL SEMANTICS, 1. in a subject developed by Korzybski a great
deal of stress is given to the niceties of words. In brief a word
is not the thing. And an object exactly like another object is
different because it occupies a different space and thus "can't be
the same object." As Alfred Korsybski studied under psychiatry and
amongst the insane (his mentor was William Alanson White at Saint
Elizabeth's Insane Asylum in Washington, D.C.) one can regard him
mainly as the father of confusion. This work, General Semantics, a
corruption of semantics (meaning really "signify cause" or the
"meaning of words") has just enough truth in it to invite interest
and just enough curves to injure one's ability to think or
communicate. Korzybski did not know the formula of human
communication and university professors teaching semantics mainly
ended up assuring students (and proving it) that no one can
communicate with anyone because nobody really knows what anybody
else means. (HCO PL 26 Apr 70R) 2. an educational "discipline"
which trains individuals to evaluate for themselves the meanings of
words and symbols. It does not, however, teach them to obtain
agreement on meanings. Hence, in semantics there can only be
confusion because by its basic principles there can be no stable
datum in symbols and significance. And thus, since symbols and
significance are basic to communication, in semantics there can be
no real communication. (FBDL 449)

GROUP, 1. a group is not just a number of people, it is a number
of people with a shared ideal, ethic and rationale. It is an
entity. Individual members of a group may come and go, and hundreds
of years
237
may pass, but the group may still be the "same" group. As it has
grown older, its component parts have been replaced, like the cells
in a body. The memory of a group is not equal to the memories of
the Individuals in the group. It may be greater or less than these,
depending on whether or not there has been good communication and
filing in the group. Any group which depends wholly upon the
memories of individuals and has no common recorded memory has no
real memory of its own and is insane as a group, though the
individuals in it may be quite rational. (HTLTAE, p. 120) 2. a
group is only a collection of different people, without policy to
agree upon. For policies are the points of agreement which make the
group into a true group and an irresistible force. (HCO PL 13 Mar
65 II) 3. a group is composed of individual group members. (HCO PL
30 Dec 70) 4. another type of organization is the group. Official
groups of the HASI and official congregations of the various
churches exist in very large numbers in the United States and Great
Britain and elsewhere through the world. To charter a group one
only needs to write the HASI. (PAB 90)
GROUP BARRIERS, those rules for membership which a group or club
maintains as a mark of distinction or to restrict its membership.
GROUP DIANETICS, a science of management should obtain optimum
performance potentialities and optimum living conditions for the
group and its members. Such a science is postulated to group
Dianetics. It is not an ideology. It is an effort toward rational
operation of groups. In group Dianetics one is looking at the
general form of the government of the world. That government will
not extend, as administrator, out from the Dianetic Foundation. But
the Foundation will probably train the personnel that governments
send to it and will probably be the advisor to all governments, (An
Essay on Management, 1951)

it is registered officially as a recognized Scn group as soon as
possible. A group log is started at the org ha which all data is
put down by the Groups Officer. (BPL 14 Dec 68R I)
GROUP ORGANIZATION, the principle and success of a true group
organization is each member does his own specialized part. When you
have a "group" where everyone in it does all the jobs, you don't
have a group, you have chaos. The group won't expand. Thus each
group member is responsible for his own job as assigned. (HCO PL 3
Dec 68)

may be Assistant Guardians in larger orgs acting as liaison
personnel for the Guardian. (HCO PL 1 Mar 66) 2. the most senior
executive of Scn just below the Executive Director. The post is
senior to Executive Secretaries. The character of the post is best
understood legally as "trustee" or even "proprietor sole" and
exercises the powers and carries out duties similar to that of a
high church officer entrusted with the funds or survival of his
group. The Guardian may use the signature "trustee" In business
letters or dealing with outside interests such as law firms and may
claim and establish the status of proprietor sole when corporate
status of Scn funds or interests is in question. The Guardian is
posted to every executive division by post and name on Division 7.
(HCO PL 1 Mar 66) 3. the purpose of the Guardian is: to help LRH
enforce and issue policy, to safeguard Scn orgs, Scientologists and
Scn and to engage in long term promotion. The keynote of the post
of Guardian is that it functions without being closely involved
with the mechanics of administration or orgs. An Assistant Guardian
can exist in any org that is big enough. It may not be worn as an
additional bat. It is appointed only by the Guardian. A Guardian is
appointed by the Executive Director personally. The first Guardian
289
is Mary Sue Hubbard. (HCO PL 1 Mar 66) Abbr. Gdn.

(Gdn Offices consist of picked personnel who are wed hatted and
trained on post by their central offices.) (FBDL 10) Abbr. GO.
GUEST DRILL, usually the poor Captain is left to struggle with
very important persons. This is too hard a lot not to have a drill.
A ship is usually warned that it is going to have sailers by hours
or even minutes. Therefore this drill includes Beating the place up
fast, getting the ship snugged up to the dock or the ladder or the
gangway squared away, seeing the proper flags are flying, tending
the side, helping the guest aboard, giving the guest a host or
hostess without tearing the top brass of the ship to bits,
providing the guest with a drink or coffee, getting the guests
business attended to and the top brass required in and out, getting
the guest back over the side. This includes providing a boat when
at anchor. The stress here is to make a snappy, polite atmosphere
and to effectively get guests aboard and gone. The same drill is
used for dinner guests and even for parties given aboard except
when they are for ship's company. (Ship's Org By.)
GUILD-MASTER, same as master.

field, any friends who are interested and general public members.
First a captain, secretary, treasurer and public officer must be
elected by the group. When the group is formed, it must contact the
Group Officer of the nearest org and give its address and the names
of its officers and members, etc., and apply for a group
certificate. Gung Ho means "pull together" in Mandarin. It pubs
together other groups in the community to work towards the
betterment of society and of the area. The group's program works on
the motto: a community that pulls together can make a better
society for all. (HCO PL 2 Dec 68) 2. a Franchise Center is
different entirely from a Gung-Ho Group. One can easily benefit
from the other. But the Gung Ho Group Is there to speed up and
smooth out the society and civic organizations and make a better
community atmosphere directly. The group is a society entrance
point, The Franchise Center is basically a Scn training and
processing activity for individuals. The group works on other
dynamics - notably the third and fourth. (HCO PL 2 Dec 68)
