abbreviation for the
tone
arm action. The
tone arm is a
control lever on the E-
Meter. The
tone arm registers density of
mass in the
mind of the
preclear. This is
actual mass, not imaginary, and can be weighed, measured by
resistance, etc. Therefore, the
tone arm registers the
state of the
case at any
given time in
processing. As a person is
processed,
mental mass shifts and dissipates, and the
auditor moves the
tone arm to compensate for these fluctuations.
Tone arm action refers to the measurement of how much the
auditor had to move the
tone arm downward (counterclockwise) during a
session, and is used as an
index of
case improvement in the
preclear.
Tone arm action is measured in
units called
divisions. A
division is the distance between any of the two
consecutive numbers appearing on the
tone arm dial.
Or when he brings his tone arm back to set, and so forth, he overcompensates so the pc is getting 435 divisions of TA for two and a half hours.
