FACSIMILE ONE
A particular incident found on many people's past, involving a machine played over the body in waves and a series of shocks afterwards. It is called Facsimile One not because it is the earliest such incident but because it was the first one proved out — auditing it out of a long series of people relieved asthma, sinus trouble, chronic chills and a range of other complaints.
From the AOGP Abridged Scientology Dictionary — based on original LRH source materials, updated through 1982.
Usage
An auditor who runs Facsimile One is running a specific incident, not a general area, because that incident had been located and confirmed on case after case. The physical complaints it was found to relieve are what made it worth naming.
Why It Matters
Facsimile One is where whole-track auditing moved from theory to something testable. It was described in the 1952 book Scientology: A History of Man.
