ADDITIVES

Anything extra added to an already workable process or procedure which reduces or nullifies the results obtainable from that process or procedure.

From the AOGP Abridged Scientology Dictionary — based on original LRH source materials, updated through 1982.

Usage

If an auditor adds extra steps or questions to an already workable auditing process, those additions are additives that can reduce or nullify the results the preclear would otherwise achieve. Keeping processes clean and free of additives is a fundamental discipline in auditing.

Why It Matters

Additives are a significant concern in Scientology practice because they can undermine processes and procedures that are already proven to work. Recognizing and removing additives is essential to maintaining standard results in auditing and organizational activity.
