CONFUSION
Any jumble of things, communications, actions, thoughts etc., that don't apparently make sense. More broadly, a confusion is random motion.
From the AOGP Abridged Scientology Dictionary — based on original LRH source materials, updated through 1982.
Usage
A person facing a confusion might feel overwhelmed by a jumble of communications, actions, and thoughts that don't seem to make sense. Handling a confusion involves finding a stable datum — one fact or point of orientation — to bring order to the random motion.
Why It Matters
Confusion is defined as random motion — things, communications, and actions without apparent sense or order. Resolving confusions is essential because a person stuck in confusion cannot act effectively or make sound decisions.
