Definitions
1. charge is held in place by the basic on a chain. When only later than basic incidents are run charge can be restimulated and then bottled up again with a very small amount blown. This is known as "grinding out" an incident. An engram is getting run, but as it is not basic on a chain, no adequate amount of charge is being relieved.(HCOB 8 Jun 63)
2. going over and over and over and over a lock, secondary or engram without obtaining an actual erasure. The Dn auditor who puts the pc through an incident four or five times without erasure or appreciable reduction is encountering "grinding."(HCOB 1 May 69)
3. a level below ARC breaking. A pc who just sits there and grinds is very often not up to getting ARC broken.(SH Spec 66, 6110C12)
