AUDITING COMMAND
The exact instruction or question the auditor gives the person being audited. It has to be something he can actually do or actually answer, and it has to mean exactly what it says, with nothing left to be guessed at.
From the AOGP Abridged Scientology Dictionary — based on original LRH source materials, updated through 1982.
Usage
"Look at that wall" is an auditing command, because the person can do it and there is no doubt about what was asked. A vague instruction like "sort yourself out" is not, because nobody could carry it out exactly.
Why It Matters
Auditing works because the commands are precise, and precision is what lets the same process produce the same result for different people. A loose command produces a loose result, or none at all.
