             PERSISTENT F/N





A FLOATING NEEDLE can persist.



This fact tells you at once why you cannot do three major actions 

in a row in the same ten minutes.



This was the bug behind "quickie grades" (0 to IV in one session. 

This also occurred in Power when it was run all in one day). The 

auditor would attain a bona fide full-dial F/N. The pc was still 

cogniting, still in a big win. The auditor would "clear the next 

process command"; he would see an F/N. He would "clear the next 

process command" and see an F/N.



BUT IT WAS THE SAME F/N!



Result was that processes two and three WERE NEVER RUN ON THE CASE.



This is really what is meant by "quickie grades."



In 1958 we got real Releases. You could not kill the F/N for days,

weeks.



Several processes had this effect. Today's real Clear also goes 

this way. You couldn't kill the F/N with an axe.



By running a lot of Level Zero processes, for instance, you can get 

a real, swinging, unkillable F/N.



It not only gets to the Examiner, it comes in at the start of the 

next day's session!



Now, if in one session you ran all of Level Zero and went on up to 

Level One, you would just be auditing a persistent F/N. The pc 

would get no benefit at all from Level One. He's still going "Wow" 

on Level Zero.



If you ran Level Zero with one process that got a big, wide, 

floating F/N and then "ran" Level I, II, III and IV, you would have 

just a Level Zero Release. The pc's bank was nowhere to be found. 

So next week he has problems (Level I) or a service fac (Level IV) 

and he is only a Grade Zero yet it says right there in Certs and 

Awards log he's a Grade IV. So now we have a "Grade IV" who has 

Level I, II, III and IV troubles!



A session that tries to go beyond a big, dial-wide, drifting, 

floating F/N only distracts the pc from his win.



                  BIG WIN



Any big win (F/N dial-wide, Cog, VGIs) gives you this kind of 

persistent F/N.



You at least have to let it go until tomorrow and let the pc have 

his win.



That is what is meant by letting the pc have his win. When you

get one of these dial-wide F/Ns Cog VGIs WOW, you may as well pack

it up for the day.



             GRADUAL WIDENING



In running a Dianetic chain to basic in Triple, you will sometimes 

see in one session a half-dial on Flow 1, three-quarters-of-a-dial 

on Flow 2, a full-dial on Flow 3.



Or you may have four subjects to two-way comm or prepcheck in one 

session. First action one-third-dial F/N. Then no F/N, TA up. 

Second action one-half-dial F/N. Then no F/N. Third action three-

quarters-dial F/N. Fourth action full, dial-wide, floating, 

swinging, idling F/N.



You will also notice in the same session -- long time for first 

action, shorter, shorter, shorter for the next three actions.



Now you have an F/N that anything you try to clear and run will 

just F/N WITHOUT AFFECTING THE CASE AT ALL.



If you audit past that, you are wasting your time and processes.



You have hit an "unkillable F/N," properly called a persistent F/N. 

It's persistent at least for that day. Do any more and it's wasted.



If an auditor has never seen this, he had better get his TR 0 Bull-

bait flat for two hours at one unflunked go and his other TRs in 

and drill out his flubs. For that's what's supposed to happen.



F/Ns on pcs audited up to (for that session) a persistent F/N 

always get to the Examiner.



If you only have a "small F/N," it won't get to the Examiner. 

However, on some pcs maybe that's good enough. May take him several 

sessions, each one getting a final session F/N a bit wider. Then he 

gets an F/N that gets to the Examiner. After that, well audited on 

a continuing basis, the F/N lasts longer and longer.



One day the pc comes into session with a dial-wide, floating, 

swinging F/N and anything you say or do does nothing whatever to 

disturb that F/N.



It's a real Release, man. It may last weeks, months, years.



Tell him to come back when he feels he needs some auditing and 

chalk up the remaining hours (if sold by the hour) as undelivered. 

Or if sold by result, chalk up the result.



If the F/N is truly persistent, he will have no objections. If it 

isn't, he will object. So have him come back tomorrow and carry

on whatever you were doing.



                  SUMMARY



The technical bug back of quickie grades or quickie Power was the 

persistent F/N.



This is not to be confused with a Stage 4 (sweep, stick, sweep, 

stick) or an ARC break needle (pc bad indicators while F/Ning).



This is not to be used to refuse all further auditing to a pc.



It is to be used to determine when to end a series of major actions 

in a session.
