Definition: a Scientologist or Dianeticist who expresses a desire for AO service for the first time, e.g. joins the I Want to Go Clear Club. Note that the definition says Scientologist or Dianeticist so raw public does not qualify for AO CF.

Joining the I Want to Go Clear Club or writing in, a payment of money, or a letter to the AO containing interest in taking an AO service(s) is what qualifies as "expressing a desire." Anything less such as verbal expression is not acceptable. (HCO PL 10 Feb 72R III) 5.

The stat is calculated by counting up the number of interviews done by the Public Reg at the end of the week and cross-checking these with the invoices from books sold to raw public. These invoiced can be simply designated RP (raw public) for fast cross-check when bookstore person is invoicing during week. (HCO PL 28 Nov 71R II) NEW PEOPLE ROUTED TO REG, (Public Division statistic) number of new people routed to reg: this stat is self-evident. It is the number of new people routed to reg. What matters is that this new person is not OF, has come to the org probably for the first time. It doesn't matter what reg. It is preferably the Public Reg but the stat is still counted if somebody else has to stand in for her. Also, the new person has to have arrived at the reg.

(ESTO 11, 7203C06 SO I) NINE DIVISION ORG, when an org gets over 50 staff members, its divisions become 9. It is then called a Nine Division Org. At that time the org must have three Public Divisions instead of just one division (6) devoted to it. The three new divisions are headed by the Public Executive Secretary. Former Division Six is simply expanded with each department becoming a division with added functions. The division then becomes: Division 9 - Executive Div. Division 1 - HCO Div.

(HCO PL 16 Apr 65 II) NO-CASE-GAIN, 1. the only reason the insane were hard to understand is that they are handling situations which no longer exist. The situation probably existed at one time. They think they have to hold their own, with overts against a non-existent enemy to solve a non-existent problem. Because their overts are continuous they have withholds. Since such a person has withholds, he or she can't communicate freely to as-is the block on the track that keeps them in some yesterday. Hence, a no-case-gain. (HCO PL 5 Apr 65) 2. if you skip a person on one level several levels up, he or she will experience only an unreality and will not react. This is expressed as no-case gain. (HCO PL S May 65) 3. chronic no change of case. (HCO PL 26 Aug 65R) Abbr. NCG. 347 NO HAVING, the way not to have is to ignore or combat or withdraw from.

It also enables lack of comm from persons scheduled to be located and rapidly handled. A 3" x 5" card file is compiled of all people already in the ASR master card file (names only are written in on the card). This file is caked the nudge file. The ASR, writes to each person using the proper type of nudge letter.

Barriers consist of space, interpositions (such as walls and screens of fast-moving particles), and time.

(HCO PL 1 May 65) 348 NON-COMPLIANCES, a type of dev-t where failure to comply with an order can set an emergency flap going which crowds the lines with dispatches. One consequence of non-compliance when repeated over a long period is to move a large number of targets into present time in a sort of frantic jam. Catastrophies can occur because of non-compliance. (HCO PL 27 Jan 69) NON CO-OP, we used to have an HCO category known as non coop, meaning no cooperation from us. People who demanded 90% of our time comprised only a small per cent of our people. Such we put on a private non-cooperate list. We just didn't do anything for them. When they called and demanded action we'd say "uh-huh" and forget it. After a while they'd wander off our lines and we'd be free of them. Dead file is actuary only an extension of non co-op. It was we who didn't cooperate. (HCO PL 7 Jun 65, Esthete Letters and the Dead File, Handling of, Definitions) NONCUMULATIVE, a type of preferred stock on which unpaid dividends do not accumulate for eventual payment. NON DELIVERY, the org just didn't deliver the service bought. (HCO PL 26 Oct 75) NON DENOMINATIONAL, Scn is nondenominational.

This bond does not require that any actual money be paid over. It does, however, provide that should the person ever reveal the location of Flag, a sum of money will immediately become due and payable.

(FO 3529) NON DIVISIONAL AIDES, aides and assistant aides who do not have divisions. (COO 147) NON ENTURBULATION ORDER, ethics issues a non enturbulation order.

(HCO PL 1 Jul 65) NON-EXISTENCE, every new appointee to a post begins in nonexistence. Whether obtained by new appointment, promotion, or demotion. He is normally under the delusion that now he is "The _" (new title). He tries to start off in power condition as he is usually very aware of his new status or even a former status. But in actual fact he is the only one aware of it. All others except perhaps the Personnel Officer are utterly unaware of him as having his new status. Therefore he begins in a state of nonexistence. And if he does not begin with the non-existence formula as his guide he will be using the wrong condition and will have all kinds of trouble. (HCO PL 23 Sept 67) NON-EXISTENCE FORMULA, formula is (1) find a comm line, (2) make yourself known, (3) discover what is needed and/or wanted, (4) do produce and/or present it. (HCO PL 22 Sept 67) See EXPANDED NON-EXISTENCE FORMULA. NON-EXISTENT TARGETTING, a type of dev-t where targets are not set, major targets are unknown. Actions are then unproductive. (HCO PL 27 Jan 69) NON-OPERATIONAL, anything that needs constant fiddling or working at to make it run is non-operational. It must be repaired fully or replaced.

NON-REMIMEO, 1. non-remimeo means HCO Bulletins, policy letters, administrative letters and executive letters which are intended for use but only by executives and therefore of limited distribution. It means not to be mimeoed again by the receiving org. On non-remimeo, a very few copies are sent to maim orgs and they in turn distribute to their nearby orgs. (HCO PL 2 Jul 64) 2. non-remimeo means bulletins and policy letters which are intended for use but only by executives and therefore are of limited distribution. It means not to be mimeoed again by the receiving org. There are two classes of non-remimeo: general non remimeo and limited non-remimeo. General non-remimeo distribution is based on one copy for master files, one copy to LRH Comm, one copy to the Guardian or A/G, one copy each to the FR, ED(CO), HES and OES, one copy to the Qual library reference files and one copy to the reference files of all bulletins and PLs kept in reception for staff, one copy to the division head(s) and the department head(s) concerned and one copy to the post(s) in the department(s) concerned. General non-remimeo issues usually deal with broader points of admin or tech of interest to one or two production departments as well as the LRH Comm, FR, the Guardian or A/G, HES, OES and ED(CO). They are never strewn about or broadly republished as they could be misunderstood. Limited non-remimeo means that copies only go to master files, LRH Comm, the Guardian or A/G, HES, OES, ED(CO) and FR. It is usually important that this does not get wide distribution as it has to do with org know-how, planning, etc., and could be misunderstood. So it is not remimeoed or strewn about. It may be taken up in staff meetings but that is about all. One mover republishes a limited non-remimeo in a magazine. (BPL 14 Apr 69R) 3. means that they are cut on a stencil and just run off and a few copies are sent to each org. (SH Spec 57, 6504C06) NONSTOCK CORPORATION, see CORPORATION, NONSTOCK.

When the watch changes over the off-going OOD shows this report to the on-coming COD, together with any other pertinent data. It is then handrouted to the Captain for his attention. (FSO ORB) NO REALITY, (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 are that arbitraries (or arbitrary 349 factors) exist to the area. No reality means an absence of familiarity with the scene effected by the originator's Intention which prevents the recipient from connecting the communication with the existing scene, or which precludes in the recipient's mind any possibility of making any change, or the desired change, to the existing scene. It can manifest as an Evolvement on the part of an individual in a situation in his personal life which occupies all his attention, or as a failure to fully wear a hat on account of one or more of the organizational psychoses. (BPL 10 Nov 73 A) NO-REPORT, 1. if one fails to make out a report it is a no-report situation and may be investigated. (HCO PL 14 Apr 65 Pi) 2. an unreadable report is classed as a no-report.

It causes as well anxiety and uncertainty. The scramble to find out of something has been done increases traffic. (HCO PL 27 Jan 69) 9. no-report means non-compliance. (HCO PL 31 May 68) Abbr. OR. NO-REPORT REPORT, staff member report of any failure to receive a report or an illegible report or folder. (HCO PL 1 May 65) NO RESPONSIBILITY, the way not to have is to ignore or combat or withdraw from. These three, ignoring or combatting or withdrawing sum up to no having. They also sum up to no responsibility for such things. Thus we can define responsibility as the concept of being able to care for, to reach or to be. AD real difficulty stems from no responsibility. (HCO PL 17 Jan 62) NO RIGHTS, means no rights. The normal rights an individual would have, such as eating, sleeping, wearing uniform, having liberty, taking breaks, etc., an individual does not have when he gets himself into a lowered condition. Of course, anyone may have some food and some sleep, this is needed so the body can keep going. But as for dressing nicely, wearing uniforms and doing the same things that you would do in normal operation, the answer is no. You got into a low condition because you goofed. Now you are expected to suffer the penalties for the goof you made, apply the condition and as you start coming up, so you start getting your rights back. (FO 1421) NORM, 1. generally, a standard, model or pattern regarded as typical for a specific group. 2. i statistics, a mode or average. 350 NORMAL OPERATION, a routine or gradual increase. (SH Spec 62, 6505C25) NORMAL OPERATION FORMULA, (1) the way you maintain an increase is when you are in a state of normal operation you don't change anything (2) ethics are very mild, the justice factor is quite mild, there are no savage actions taken particularly. (3) a statistic betters then look it over carefully and find out what bettered it and then do that without abandoning what you were doing before. (4) every time a statistic worsens slightly, quickly fund out why and remedy it. And you just jockey those two factors, the statistic bettering, the statistic worsening, repair the statistic worsening, and you will find out inevitably some change has been made in that area where a statistic worsens. Some change has been made, you had better get that change off the lines in a hurry. (HCO PL 23 Sept 67) NORMAL OPERATOR, see WORKER, NORMAL. NORMAL PRICE, see PRICE, NORMAL. NORMAL WORKER, see WORKER, NORMAL. NO-SITUATION, a situation is something that applies to survival and if you evaluate the word "situation" against survival, you've got it. A good situation is a high level of survival; a bad situation is a threatened survival and a no-situation is something that won't affect survival.

NOT HANDLING, in administration we sometimes find terminals that refer dispatches to others, let them drift, give excuses why not. This adds up to not handling. This is the basic reason for dev-t (developed, meaning excessive, traffic). (HCOB 15 Jan 70 II) NOT SOLVENT, that is to say, our outgo was greater than our income. (7208C02 SO) NOTICE OF DISHONOR, a notice, given orally or in writing, to makers, endorsers and drawers that a negotiable instrument has not been paid, or honored, when presented at the designated time.

NO TONE ARM ACTION, if you skip a person on one level several levels up, he or she will experience only an unreality and will not react. This is expressed as "no-case-gain." On the E-meter it registers as no tone arm action meaning there is no meter registry of change on the meter control lever (tone arm). (HCO PL 5 May 65) NUDGE, 1. Communication Office query as to the progress of a message. (HTLTAE, p. 68) 2. a slip which asks about the progress of a communication. Comcenter sends a nudge to the acted when he fails to acknowledge a message or to complete it in the estimated time.
