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)
- 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)
- 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)
