O/W stands for “Overts and Withholds.” These two words are defined in Scientology as follows:
OVERT—An overt act is not just injuring someone or something; an overt act is an act of omission or commission which does the least good for the least number of dynamics or the most harm to the greatest number of dynamics.
WITHHOLD—A withhold is always the manifestation which comes after an overt. It is restraining self from communicating.
The O/W procedure is a type of processing which handles a person’s overts and withholds on a certain item (person, thing or subject).
Set 1: The general O/W process has the following two commands run alternatively:
- “What have you done?”
- “What have you withheld?”
Set 2: A specific O/W process concerning some item has the following commands:
- “What have you done to (item)?”
- “What have you withheld from (item)?”
Set 3: The general O/W process for an item may be run as follows.
- “What has (an item) done?”
- “What has a (an item) withheld?”
Set 4: A specific O/W process for item 1 concerning item 2 may be run as follows.
- What has (item 1) done to (item 2)?
- What has (item 1) withheld from (item 2)?
The process is run until no more answers are coming up and the person feels relieved and comfortable.

Once an item is determined by the Listing procedure, it is located on the person’s “time track” by using the dating procedure. The purpose is to identify the charge (tension) precisely in time and space to make it blow (leave).
Generally, we have some idea of the time track from birth till now, where memory is concerned. Prior to birth, sensations become more important as they can be felt with more certainty. It is only when sensations are dated accurately that the perception of location follows.
Date
The auditor asks the individual to determine when a particular event or sensation occurred. This involves mentally scanning one’s “time track,” which is the sequence of memories and experiences, to estimate the moment the event took place.
Locate
After establishing the time, the auditor then guides the person to identify where the event happened, often using mental imagery or sensations to map the location within their mind.
We scan the manifestation relative to other manifestations on the mental map of sensations using The 12 Aspects of Mindfulness. Here we are looking at a map that extends to infinity in thought-time and thought-space. We may use the units of tens, hundreds, thousands, millions, billions, trillions, etc., of years; but they all pertain to mental coordinates.

Listing in Scientology
The Listing procedure is used with a “Who or What” type question that can have many answers. For example. “Who am I?” or “What is the basic purpose of life?” are listing questions.
In Scientology, listing is followed by nulling, and, therefore, it is called the Listing and Nulling (L&N) procedure. These two words are defined in Scientology as follows:
LISTING
The auditor’s action in writing down Items said by the pc in response to a question by the auditor.
NULLING
The auditor’s action in saying Items from a List to a pc and noting the reaction of the pc by use of an E-Meter. Usually the list is nulled to a single reading item.
This “reading item” is like an answer that sticks out among rest of the answers for the preclear when it is indicated back to him. Much care is taken in Scientology because a wrong item indicated to the preclear can cause much adverse effect.
.
Listing in Subject Clearing
In the Subject Clearing approach the L&N process is applied by a person to himself using The 12 Aspects of Mindfulness instead of an E-meter. The steps are as follows:
- The person considers the listing question carefully. He puts down the answers on a list as they come to him.
- At some point he feels that he has listed all the relevant answers. He then rearranges the items on the list according to their relevance to him.
- He suddenly recognize “his item.” This item could be something new. He places this item at the top of the list.
- If this realization does not occur, then the list is incomplete. He then goes back and adds more items to the list per steps 1 and 2.
- He may feel a sense of relief when the list is complete, and recognizes “his item” as he rearranges this list.
- He places that item at the top of the list.
Note that the E-meter is not used with the Subject Clearing approach. Instead, the person applies The 12 Aspects of Mindfulness. The L&N procedure is very safe to apply with the Subject Clearing approach. This is because the person is discovering his own item, instead of somebody indicating it to him.
A person can always review the list and add and rearrange the items according to their relevance, importance, or significance. On top of the list will then appear the item most significant to him.

Reference: The L Processes
On L10 we handle the main beingnesses that make him restrain his havingness. It is tailored to the individual. L10 doesn’t have a fixed program, but contains a number of different possible ways of getting items. L10 takes off the stops that hold a person back on third and fourth dynamics.
The End Phenomenon is freedom from self-restraint. His reach (havingness) is increased.
.
L10 BASIC APPROACH
- Make a list of beingness (people and things) you have had difficulty with.
- Make a list of your areas of difficulty.
- For each area, make a list of beingness associated with it.
- Place all beingness on a single list.
- Rearrange the items on the list in the order you would like to handle them.
- Take the top item on this list, and do the following steps.
- Run the O/Ws (Set 3) to unburden the item. You are basically recovering all the misjudgments that item has been involved in.
- “What has a (item) done?”
- “What has a (item) withheld?”
- Run L&N to determine the purpose/intention of the item. You are basically spotting the main purpose/intention of the item.
- “What is the basic purpose or intention of (item)?”
- Run Date/Locate to blow the purpose/intention, if evil. You are basically locating the sensation of this purpose/intention on your background map of sensations.
- If no relief, then date/locate other evil purposes on the L&N list from step 3.2 just above.
- If there is still some attention on this item (beingness):
- L&N “What identity would oppose (item)?”
- Take the next item from this list in Step 2.
- Run that item through the actions under Step 3.
- Continue with the subsequent items from Step 2 until there is a significant relief.
- If you are still bothered by some difficulty, repeat step 1 to make a new list.
- Do all the subsequent steps again.
- If some difficulty still persists, then
- Make sure you did this process precisely.
- Do other L10 rundowns.

Summary
The frame of space is defined as the system of location in space. It is extended to the frame of space and time, which is location of events in space and time. We look at everything through the rest frame of Earth.
The multiplicity of frames depends on relative velocity because there is no absolute velocity. Therefore, there is no absolute simultaneity either. But there is an absolute world-structure based on the absolute velocity of light.
.
Comments
The rest frame of Earth is the rest frame of matter. Different frames of space and time occur based on absolute motion/inertia, and not based on relative velocity of matter.

Original Text
In this chapter the idea of a multiplicity of frames of space has been extended to a multiplicity of frames of space and time. The system of location in space, called a frame of space, is only a part of a fuller system of location of events in space and time. Nature provides no indication that one of these frames is to be preferred to the others. The particular frame in which we are relatively at rest has a symmetry with respect to us which other frames do not possess, and for this reason we have drifted into the common assumption that it is the only reasonable and proper frame; but this egocentric outlook should now be abandoned, and all frames treated as on the same footing. By considering time and space together we have been able to understand how the multiplicity of frames arises. They correspond to different directions of section of the four-dimensional world of events, the sections being the “world-wide instants”. Simultaneity (Now) is seen to be relative. The denial of absolute simultaneity is intimately connected with the denial of absolute velocity; knowledge of absolute velocity would enable us to assert that certain events in the past or future occur Here but not Now; knowledge of absolute simultaneity would tell us that certain events occur Now but not Here. Removing these artificial sections, we have had a glimpse of the absolute world-structure with its grain diverging and interlacing after the plan of the hour-glass figures. By reference to this structure we discern an absolute distinction between space-like and time-like separation of events—a distinction which justifies and explains our instinctive feeling that space and time are fundamentally different. Many of the important applications of the new conceptions to the practical problems of physics are too technical to be considered in this book; one of the simpler applications is to determine the changes of the physical properties of objects due to rapid motion. Since the motion can equally well be described as a motion of ourselves relative to the object or of the object relative to ourselves, it cannot influence the absolute behaviour of the object. The apparent changes in the length, mass, electric and magnetic fields, period of vibration, etc., are merely a change of reckoning introduced in passing from the frame in which the object is at rest to the frame in which the observer is at rest. Formulae for calculating the change of reckoning of any of these quantities are easily deduced now that the geometrical relation of the frames has been ascertained.
