RUIN, before you can save someone from ruin, you must find out what their own personal ruin is. This is basically-what is ruining them? What is messing them up? It must be a condition that is real to the individual as an unwanted condition, or one that can be made real to him. (HCO PL 23 Oct 65)

(HCO PL 15 Sept 68) 2. there are five major types of Mission Orders. These types are (1) observation mission orders, (2) situation handling mission orders, (3) garrison mission orders, (4) project mission orders, (5) courier mission orders. The term missionaire is used for the personnel who conduct the first four types and courier is used for the last type. (FO 2936) 3. the name missionaire implies someone going out to handle admin, tech, ethics or PR. He goes off to get an org or ship straightened up. (FO 2494) 4. missionaires are auditors to orgs. (OODs 6 Jun 74) 5. someone in motion handling a distinct laid out cycle of action. The basic cycle is go there – do it -come back.

GRADIENT SCALE, 1. the term can apply to anything, and means a scale of condition graduated from zero to infinity. Absolutes are considered to be unobtainable. (Scn 8-8008, p. 104) 2. the tool of infinity-valued logic. It is a tenet of Dn and Scn that absolutes are unattainable. Terms like good and bad,alive and dead, right and wrong are used only in conjunction with gradient scales. On the scale of right and wrong, everything above zero or center would be more and more right, approaching an infinite rightness, and everything below zero or center would be more and more wrong, approaching an infinite wrongness. The gradient scale is a way of thinking about the universe which approximates the actual conditions of the universe more closely than any other existing logical method. (SOS Gloss)
