TERMINAL

Anything that can receive, relay or send a communication (most common usage); also, anything with mass and meaning.

1. something that has mass and meaning which originates, receives, relays and changes particles on a flow line. (HCO PL 25 Jul 72) 2. a post or terminal is an assigned area of responsibility and action which is supervised in part by an executive. (HCO PL 28 Jul 71) Terminal (Def. 2) 3. a point that receives, relays and sends communication. When people wear only their own hats then one has terminals in the org. (HCO PL 1 Jul 65 III) 4. the point at the end of a line which performs a specific function with a particle arriving on the line. (FSO 137) 5. hat. (HCO PL 10 Jul 65) 6. a group or section which is served by a comstation. Some individuals will not have stations of their own but will be served by the station of their group. Terminals can also be remote or roving. (HTLTAE, p. 123)

Any mass used in a fixed position in any communications system. Thus you see a man would be a terminal, but a post (position of duty or employment) could also be a terminal. See also post.

1. any point of no form or any form or dimension from which energy can flow or by which energy can be received. 2. In facsimiles, ridges and electrometers, terminals operate and current flows only when they are fixed in time and space. Alternating current becomes possible only because of an overlooked item, the base of the meter, which is fixed in time and space and which keeps the terminals apart by fixing them in time and space. —LRH, 8-8008 —Scientology 8- 8008 Glossary Final approval c. 3 Mar 1990

1. it would be any fixed mass utilized in a communication system. That, I think, is the best of the various definitions that have come out for this. Any mass used in a fixed position in any communications system. Thus you see a man would be a terminal, but a post could also be a terminal. (5703PM01)2. something that has mass and meaning which originates, receives, relays and changes particles on a flow line. (HCO PL 25 Jul 72)3. anything used in a communication system; something that has mass in it. Something with mass, meaning and mobility. Anything that can receive, relay or send a communication. (HCOB 25 Jan 65)4. any point of no form or any form or dimension from which energy can flow or by which energy can be received. (Scn 8-8008, p. 32)5. a terminal is what you need in order to get a perception. (Spr Lect 3, 5303M24)6. one of a pair of reliable items of equal mass and force, the significance of which the thetan has aligned with his own intentions. (HCOB 13 Apr 64, Scn VI Part One Glossary of Terms)7. an item or identity the pc has actually been sometime in the past (or present) is called a terminal. It is "the pc's own valence" at that time. In the goals problem mass (the black masses of the reactive mind) those identities which, when contacted, produce pain, tell us at once that they are terminals. The person could feel pain only as himself (thetan plus body) and therefore identities he has been produce pain when its mental residues (black masses) are recontacted in processing Symbol: term.
