1. the [[PTS|PTS]] guy is fairly obvious. He's here, he's way up today and he's way down tomorrow and he gets a beautiful [[SESSION|session]] and then be gets terribly [[ILL|ill]]. That's the history of his [[LIFE|life]]. If you look into his [[FOLDER|folder]], you will look at a [[FOLDER_SUMMARY|folder summary]] and you will see that every two or three sessions is a [[REPAIR|repair]]. He can't stay on a [[PROGRAM|program]]. He goes a little distance up the [[GRADE|Grade]] [[CHART|Chart]] then has to be patched up. It looks like Coney Island-hence rollercoaster.

2. the main [[CAUSE|cause]] of [[BEING|being]] a [[POTENTIAL|potential]] trouble [[SOURCE|source]] is being connected with persons (such as marital or familial ties) of known [[ANTAGONISM|antagonism]] to [[SEN|Sen]].
''(OODs 4 Jun 71)''

3. those who are connected with the destructively anti-social outside the [[ORG|org]].

4. the mechanism of PTS is environmental menace that keeps something continually keyed in. This can be a constant recurring [[SOMATIC|somatic]] or continual, recurring [[PRESSURE|pressure]] or a mass. The menace in the [[ENVIRONMENT|environment]] is not imaginary in such extreme cases. The [[ACTION|action]] can be taken to key it [[OUT|out]]. But if the environmental menace is [[ACTUAL|actual]] and persists it will just key in again. This gives recurring pressure unrelieved by usual [[PROCESSING|processing]].

5. a person or [[PRECLEAR|preclear]] who "roller coasters," i.e., gets [[BETTER|better]], then worse. This occurs only when his connection to a [[SUPPRESSIVE_PERSON|suppressive person]] or [[GROUP|group]] is unhandled and he must, in order to make his [[GAINS|gains]] from [[SCN|Scn]] permanent, receive processing intended to [[HANDLE|handle]] such.
''(ISE, p. 48)''

6. somebody who is connected with an SP who is invalidating him, his [[BEINGNESS|beingness]], his processing, his life.
''(SH Spec 63, 6506C08)''

7. means the [[CASE|case]] is going to go up and [[FALL|fall]] down. He's a trouble source because he's going to get [[UPSET|upset]]. He's a trouble source because he's going to make trouble. And he's trouble for the [[AUDITOR|auditor]] and he's trouble for us and he's trouble for himself.
''(SH Spec 68, 6510C14)''

8. it means someone connected to a person or group opposed to Scn. It is a technical thing. It [[RESULTS|results]] in illness and [[ROLLER-COASTER|roller-coaster]] and is the cause of illness and roller-coaster.
