KEEPER OF TECH, is the highest technically trained personnel in the field. He/she is usually located in a very specific area (Church), where they can be contacted and communicated with any time. The major duty of any Keeper of Tech is to ensure that the standard of Dn and Scn technology, processing and case supervision is applied and maintained as originated by LRH, as its 100 per cent rate, in the area they are keeping tech in.

KERFUFFLE, Slang. an upset. (SH Spec 45, 6411C03)

KEYED-OUT CLEAR, 1. when you find what lock words have been tied into the GPMs in this or even an earlier lifetime and key them out (destimulate them) (untie them from the main mass) the GPMs sink back into proper alignment and cease being effective. This makes a key-out Clear. This condition is valuable because the GPMs are now confrontable one by one (not dozens by dozens) and Routine 6 can be run easily on the preclear. (HCOB 17 Oct 64 III) 2. this is a simulated Clear, we call it a "keyed-out Clear" quite properly. But it isn’t a Clear, it’s a release. The person has been released from his reactive mind. He still has that reactive mind but he is not in it. He is just released from it. (HCOB 2 Apr 65)

KEYED-OUT OT, 1. released OT. (HCOB 30 Jun 65) 2. the pc is still a pre-clear though a keyed-out OT. This really isn’t a thetan exterior. The thetan exterior is quite unstable and can be attained below an ordinary first stage release. Keyed-out OT is not done by routine auditing, being an offshoot of it that happens sometimes. (HCOB 28 Jun 65)

KEY-IN, v. 1. the action of recording a lock on a secondary or engram. (HCOB 23 Apr 69) —n. 1. the first time an engram is restimulated is called a key-in. A key-in is merely a special kind of lock, the first lock on a particular engram. (SOS, Bk. 2, p. 29) 2. a moment when the environment around the awake but fatigued or distressed individual is itself similar to the dormant engram. At that moment the engram becomes active. It is keyed-in and can thereafter be dramatized. (SOS, Bk. 2, p. 136)

KEY-OUT, v. 1. an action of the engram or secondary dropping away without being erased. (HCOB 23 Apr 69) —n. 2. the person without knowing what the earlier instance was has had the lock vanish. That’s a kev-out. (SH Spec 122. 6203C19)—adj. 3. released from the stimulus-response mechanisms of the reactive mind. (PXL, p. 18) 4. release or separation from one’s reactive mind or some portion of it. (PXL, p. 252)

KINESTHESIA, 1. by kinesthesia we perceive motion through space and time. (SOS, p. 59) 2. weight and muscular motion. (DMSMH, p. 46)

KINETIC, something which has considerable motion. (Scn 8-80, p. 43)

KINETIC MOTION, something that’s moving. Or a potentiality of motion. (PDC 18)

KNOW BEST, a technical and admin term. In tech it refers to an auditor who in misapplying a process on a pc considers he knows more than is actually contained in the technical bulletins on the subject and uses this "know best" as a basis for altering technical procedure. In admin it refers similarly to a person who considers he has a better way of accomplishing something than is contained in the policy letters covering that subject and messes things up. Management then finds itself left with the task of correcting that person’s goofs by applying the correct standard policy to the area. In English, it is a derogatory term meaning the person is pretending to know while actually being stupid. (LRH Def. Notes)

KNOWING CAUSE, the person at cause is there because he knows he is there and because he is willingly there. The person at cause is not at cause because he does not dare be at effect. He must be able to be at effect. If he is afraid to be at effect, then he is unwilling cause and is at cause only because he is very afraid of being at effect. (SCP, p. 9)

KNOWINGNESS, 1. being certainness. (PAB 1) 2. a capability for truth; it is not data. (PDC 47) 3. knowingness would be self-determined knowledge. (5405C20)

KNOWLEDGE, 1. by knowledge we mean assured belief, that which is known information, instruction; enlightenment, learning; practical skill. By knowledge we mean data, factors and whatever can be thought about or perceived. (FOT, p. 76) 2. knowledge is more than data; it is also the ability to draw conclusions. (DAB, Vol. II, p. 69) 3. a whole group or subdivision of a group of data or speculations or conclusions on data or methods of gaining data. (Scn 0-8, p. 67)

KNOW-POINT, a know-point is senior to a viewpoint. An individual would not have dependency on space or mass or anything else. He’d simply know where he was. (PXL, p. 257)

KNOW-TO-MYSTERY SCALE, the scale of affinity from knowingness down through lookingness, emotingness, effortingness, thinkingness, symbolizingness, eatingness, sexingness and so through to not-knowingness-mystery. The know-to-sex scale was the earlier version of this scale. (PXL, p. 49)

KOT, Keeper of Tech. (FO 2354)

KRC TRIANGLE, the upper triangle in the Scn symbol. The points are K for knowledge, R for responsibility, and C for control. It is difficult to be responsible for something or control something unless you have knowledge of it. It is folly to try to control something or even know something without responsibility. It is hard to fully know something or be responsible for something over which you have no control, otherwise the result can be an overwhelm. Little by little one can make anything go right by: increasing KNOWLEDGE on all dynamics, increasing RESPONSIBILITY on all dynamics, increasing CONTROL on all dynamics. (HCO PL 18 Feb 72)

KUCDEIOF, know, unknow, curious, desire, enforce, inhibit, none of it, false. (SH Spec 296, s308C20)
