1. a process is continued as long as it produces change and no longer, at which time the process is [[Definitions/Flat|flat]]. (PXL p. 45)

2. a process is flat when 1) there is the same lag from the moment the command is given until the time the [[Definitions/Preclear|preclear]] answers the command at least three times in a row, 2) a [[Definitions/Cognition|cognition]] occurs, 3) the [[Definitions/Tone_Arm_Action|tone arm action]] is flat, 4) a major cognition occurs, 5) an [[Definitions/Ability|ability]] regained. (SH Spec 290, 6307C25)

3. a question is flat when the [[Definitions/Communication_Lag|communication lag]] has been similar for three successive questions. Now, that’s a [[Definitions/Flat_Question|flat question]]. The [[Definitions/Comm_Lag|comm lag]] might be five seconds, five seconds, and five seconds. We would still say with some [[Definitions/Justice|justice]] that the question lag was flat. However, the [[Definitions/Process_Lag|process lag]] would not be flat until the actual normal exchange lag was present. The question would no longer influence the [[Definitions/Communication|communication]] [[Definitions/Factors|factors]] of the preclear when the process was flat. (Abil SW)
