Ref:
One remaining problem in cases was "PTS phenomena."
PTS means potential trouble source. When someone is suppressed he becomes a potential trouble source.
There are numerous HCOBs and PLs on this subject. All of them are true observations and predictions.
The cause of Roller-Coaster is PTS. Roller-coaster means a slump after a gain. Pcs who do not hold their gains are PTS.
S and Ds (for Search and Discovery) was the earlier approach. These are still valid and "3 S&Ds" as a rundown is used in the PTS Rundown without change.
Now with the PTS Rundown, this common and all too frequent case condition can be handled.
There are actually three PTS handlings:
1. This is essentially an ethics action done by the Ethics Officer. Its substance is contained in Board Policy Letter 5 Apr 72RC Issue I, PTS Type A Handling. It is usually the first step at any sign of trouble. It is not an audited action, it is an interview. The PTS person is given a program in order to handle the scene.
2. This is the PTS Rundown, Audited as covered in this HCOB, in HCOB 20 Jan 72r, PTS RD Addition and in HCOB 3 Jun 72RA. It is done by an auditor in regular session as described in these HCOBs.
… It can be done by Class IV Grads who are also HNEDAs, HGC Okay to Audits.
For an auditor who is not HNEDA, Class IV Grad Okay to Audit HGC by competent interneship to attempt a PTS Rundown would be very risky for the pc as it needs exact listing, exact TRs, exact metering, exact Code keeping and very honest auditing and competent C/Sing.
3. The third handling is The Suppressed Person Rundown, HCOB 29 Dec 78, and HCOB 30 Dec 78r — The Suppressed Person RD Problems Processes. It is done by a qualified auditor in regular session. Essentially, it handles the OTHER person connected to the pc.
Therefore, what you have here is three stages of handling PTSness. The first above, the interview, cools off the scene and in many cases that is that. But when the pc is further affected by the connection and roller-coasters, he is given the audited rundown as in 2 above. This usually handles the case of PTSness as a case. But there sometimes remains another person, the SP person or group and its relationship in the real universe to the pc. And this is handled with 3 above.
The Dianetic steps of the PTS Rundown, Audited are not run on Clears, OTs or Dianetic Clears. (Ref: HCOB 12 Sep 78, Dianetics Forbidden On Clears And OTs.)
Clears, OTs and Dianetic Clears can of course be given the interview step (1 above) and can be given the Suppressed Person Rundown as in 3 above as neither contains any handling of engrams.
Early discovery and development of the PTS theory is extensively covered.
The recent wrap-up came about through my OT research in November 1971.
The principle breakthrough was realizing one should NOT invalidate having known certain people before.
This is similar to the past life discovery in 1950. Some people thinking this was "unpopular" frowned on it. Some others were only famous characters so flagrantly that past lives were easily invalidated. But people who don't go past track in Dianetics don't recover. Even running them as "imaginary" as in Science of Survival advices suddenly breaks through for a stalled Dianetic case.
In this same way with young men and girls using "I knew you when you were ……" for 2D advantage tended to invalidate having known certain individuals before this life.
But now it turns out that the only PTS situation that is serious and lasting and can cause a roller-coaster comes from having known the person before this life.
Possibly in the last life or earlier lives one knew persons before that life too. This however shows up in the 3 S&Ds.
There are only four points of breakdown of the PTS Rundown.
1. Improperly audited. Auditor not able to always do a correct list. TRs out, metering out, poor R3RA, just plain untrained or not totally familiar with this rundown.
2. Pc not completely set up. Like: Has TA trouble but no C/S 53 done, is a no change case but no EXGF 40RD done, old auditing not repaired by… proper programing or… pc too tired or too ill for the R3RA.
3. The rundown not fully and completely done, but chopped or left incomplete (pc will still roller-coaster).
4. People who "can't run engrams" — which means a druggie who hasn't had a full Drug Rundown.
There is nothing especially tricky about the auditing of the PTS Rundown except that all auditing should be of flubless quality and when the PTS RD is flubbed by bad lists or poor R3RA or out-TRs or poor metering it really is a mess. The RD is so powerful that errors in C/Sing and auditing it are especially rough.
Currently sick pcs should not be run on the PTS Rundown as a standard practice. It IS what they need but you can easily overwhelm a sick pc with engram running.
The time to run a PTS RD is when the pc is set up and when it is noted the pc roller-coasters, not when he collapses with a temperature.
Roller-coaster can also be caused by a bad Interiorization RD or Int repair, out-lists, bypassed charge of other descriptions. These should be gotten rid of before a PTS RD is attempted.
The prerequisites for a PTS RD are covered in 2 and 4 above. It is not restricted to Ex Dn but is a separate RD developed before Ex Dn.
Valence shifts occur rapidly and frequently in PTS RDs and should be noted on the worksheet.
The R3RA can sometimes be a bit of a long haul on a basic incident. Be sure with an L3RF. But get the postulate off the basic no matter how hard you have to work at it. In the PTS RD incidents can "develop. " Missing pieces can appear. A whole new slant can occur on the subject when one goes to F2 after finishing F1.
Chronic somatics are likely to appear and be handled on this rundown. And case conditions not previously remedied by other means can be remedied by this rundown.
There is a point where the pc is absolutely sure he knew the person before this life. This is NOT the EP.
A pc can exteriorize on this RD. That is NOT the EP (but can require an Int RD if none has been done before…).
The EP is a pc who is getting and keeping case gains and never again Roller-Coasters.
You cannot use Flow 1 as any old direction to or from pc. To do this fouls it up.
If you did F1 R3RA as "Locate a time you knew " you might get to the pc, pc to the person or the person to others. You would not get a clean motivator F1. This would leave the PTS chain partially run.
This is also true of the ruds.
If the pc does not recover, then reasons for failure 1 to 4 above should be checked into.
Then the lists and R3RA should be handled with L4BRA and L3RF.
Then an overlooked item or person or place should be scouted for and handled. There is no question of the validity of the rundown. It might have missed. "True love" might have been passed over as unlikely but such obsessive attraction is always based on having known (and probably done in) the other person.
Then the true EP will be attained where it only appeared to be before.

Each flow of each process on the rundown is checked for a read before it is run. This includes Dianetics, ruds, Can't Hav/Enforced Hav. You do not run unreading flows.
Auditor errors during the RD are handled with L4BRA, L3RF, … and … C/S 53 if necessary.
A really big snarl up on the RD that won't clear up is handled with HCOB 16 Apr 72 PTS RD Correction List.
If pc gets ill or roller-coasters after the RD is complete the PTS RD Correction List Hcob 16 Apr 72 is done and whatever was missed is cleared up.
The PTS RD as revised is very direct and powerful. The L&N blows each aspect apart. Don't miss on it with auditor flubs. Get it drilled thoroughly before it is delivered.
