Definitions

1. the consideration and action of impelling an impulse or particle from source-point across a distance to receipt-point, with the intention of bringing into being at the receipt-point a duplication and understanding of that which emanated from the source-point. The formula of communication is: cause, distance, effect, with intention, attention and duplication with understanding. The component parts of communication are consideration, intention, attention, cause, source-point, distance, effect, receipt-point, duplication, understanding, the velocity of the impulse or particle, nothingness or somethingness. A non-communication consists of barriers. Barriers consist of space, interpositions (such as walls and screens of fast-moving particles), and time. A communication by definition does not need to be two-way. When a communication is returned, the formula is repeated, with the receipt-point now becoming a source-point and the former source-point now becoming a receiptpoint. (HCO PL 4 Apr 72 III)

2. Communication (Def. 1)

3. communication consists of the flows of ideas or particles across space between solids. (POW, p. 81)

4. simply a familiarization process based on reach and withdraw. When you speak you are reaching. When you cease to speak you are withdrawing. When he hears you, he's at that moment a bit withdrawn but then he reaches toward you with the answer. (HCOB 23 May 71R 1)

5. communications could be said to be the study and practice of interchanging ideas, individual to individual, individual to group, group to individual, and group to group. (HTLTAE, P. 1)

6. the consideration and action of impelling an impulse or particle from source point across a distance to receipt point with the intention of bringing into being at the receipt point a duplication and understanding of that which emanated from the source point. (HCOB 5 Apr 73)

7. the first and most basic definition of any part of communication is that communication or any part thereof is a consideration. As duplication is a consideration, communication is possible to the degree that the preclear can freely make considerations. (COHA, pp. 170-171)

8. the operation, the action, by which one experiences emotion and by which one agrees. Communication is not only the modus operandi, it is the heart of life and is by thousands of per cent the senior in importance to affinity and reality. (PAB 1)

9. any ritual by which effects can be produced and perceived. Thus a letter, a bullet, the output of theta "flitter" are all, to us, communication. (PAB 4)

10. the ability to translate sympathy or some component of sympathy from one terminal to another terminal. (Spr Lect 5, 5303CM25)

11. an interchange of energy from one beingness to another in the thetan, and in Homo sapiens, communication is known as perception. (Scn 8-8008, p. 21)

12. the handling of particles, of motion. (PAB 1)

13. the interchange of perception through the material universe between organisms or the perception of the material universe by sense channels. (Scn 0-8, p. 83)

14. the interchange of ideas across space. (Scn 0-8, p. 36)

15. Communication (Def. 9)

16. the use of those sense channels with which the individual contacts the physical universe. (DAB, Vol. II, p. 218)
