1. a [[COMM_LINE|comm line]] is the [[LINE|line]] on which particles [[FLOW|flow]], it is horizontal. The correct terminals in each [[DEPARTMENT|department]] are addressed by terminals outside the department directly and are so answered. This is known as horizontal flow. It is a [[FAST_FLOW|fast flow]] system.

2. (horizontal fast flow [[COMMUNICATION_ROUTING|communication routing]]) the [[NORMAL|normal]] flow [[LINES|lines]] of an [[ORG|org]] are horizontal. They do not go up, [[OVER|over]] and down on the [[ORGANIZING_BOARD|organizing board]]. They pass from one [[UNIT|unit]] to another sideways without going through seniors. Almost all dispatches should travel in this way. It is fast flow. None of the [[COMM|comm]] ever goes to the originator's senior or to the [[RECEIVER|receiver]]'s senior. Only when something goes [[WRONG|wrong]] or there is a conflict do seniors get consulted or dive in on the line.
