1. a
process is continued as long as it produces
change and no longer, at which
time the
process is
flat.
(PXL p. 45)2. a
process is
flat when
1) there is the same lag from the
moment the
command is
given until the
time the
preclear answers the
command at least three
times in a
row,
2) a
cognition occurs,
3) the
tone arm action is
flat,
4) a
major cognition occurs,
5) an
ability regained.
(SH Spec 290, 6307C25)3. a question is
flat when the
communication lag has been
similar for three successive questions. Now, that's a
flat question. The
comm lag might be five seconds, five seconds, and five seconds. We would still say with some
justice that the question lag was
flat. However, the
process lag would not be
flat until the
actual normal exchange lag was present. The question would no longer influence the
communication factors of the
preclear when the
process was
flat.
