PROCESS LAG
  1. the length of time it takes the whole circuit to clean or clear or get free and of course that length of time is how long it takes you to run out that question and we call that a process lag. If you are running Opening Procedure 8-C and you have to run it on a preclear fourteen hours before he seems to be in good shape on the thing, you have done then a process lag and you've cleaned up a process lag. How long did it take for this process to be effective on the preclear, fourteen hours. (5411CM05)
  2. this is the length of time it requires for the preclear to obtain a result from a process. (PAB 43)
  3. the length of time it takes to reduce all communication lag from a type of question or action in auditing. (PAB 43)
  4. another kind of communication lag is simply a processing lag. It's the length of time that it takes the process to be effective on the preclear. (5410C M06)
