An omitted anything is an out-point. | An omitted anything is an out-point. |
This can be an omitted person, terminal, object, energy, space, time, form, sequence, or even an omitted scene.

This is easily the most overlooked out-point as it isn’t there to directly attract attention. | This is easily the most overlooked out-point as it isn’t there to directly attract attention. |
On several occasions I have found situation analyses done which arrived at no WHY that would have made handling possible but which gave a false why that would have upset tilings if used. In each case the out-point that held the real clue was this one of an omitted something. In a dozen cases it was omitted personnel each time. One area to which orders were being issued had no one in it at all. Others were undermanned, meaning people were missing. In yet another case there were no study materials at all. In two other cases the whole of a subject was missing in the area. Yet no one in any of these cases had spotted the fact that it was an omitted something that had caused a whole activity to decay. People were working frantically to remedy the general situation. None of them noticed the omissions that were the true cause of the decay. | On several occasions I have found situation analyses done which arrived at no WHY that would have made handling possible but which gave a false why that would have upset tilings if used.

In crime it is as bad to omit as it is to commit. Yet no one seems to notice the omissions as actual crimes. | In crime it is as bad to omit as it is to commit. Yet no one seems to notice the omissions as actual crimes. |
Man, trained up in the last century to be a stimulus-response animal responds to the therenesses and doesn’t respond as uniformly to not-therenesses. | Man, trained up in the last century to be a stimulus-response animal responds to the therenesses and doesn’t respond as uniformly to not-therenesses. |
This opens the door to a habit of deletion or shortening which can become quite compulsive. | This opens the door to a habit of deletion or shortening which can become quite compulsive. |
In any analysis which fails to discover a WHY one can safely conclude the why is an omission and look for things that should be there and aren’t. | In any analysis which fails to discover a WHY one can safely conclude the why is an omission and look for things that should be there and aren’t. |
ALTERED SEQUENCE | ALTERED SEQUENCE |
Any things, events, object, sizes, in a wrong sequence is an out-point. | Any things, events, object, sizes, in a wrong sequence is an out-point. |
The number series 3, 7, 1, 2, 4, 6, 5 is an altered sequence, or an incorrect sequence. | The number series 3, 7, 1, 2, 4, 6, 5 is an altered sequence, or an incorrect sequence. |
Doing step two of a sequence of actions before doing step one can be counted on to tangle any sequence of actions. | Doing step two of a sequence of actions before doing step one can be counted on to tangle any sequence of actions. |
The basic outness is no sequence at all. This leads into FIXED IDEAS. It also shows up in what is called disassociation, an insanity. Things connected to or similar to each other are not seen as consecutive. Such people also jump about subjectwise without relation to an obvious sequence. Disassociation is the extreme case where things that are related are not seen to be and things that have no relation are conceived to have. | The basic outness is no sequence at all.

One’s hardest task sometimes is indicating an inevitable sequence into the future that is invisible to another. This is a consequence. “If you saw off the limb you are sitting on you will of course fall.” Police try to bring this home often to people who have no concept of sequence; so the threat of punishment works well on well behaved citizens and not at all on criminals since they often are criminals because they can’t think in sequence — they are simply fixated. “If you kill a man you will be hanged”, is an indicated sequence. A murderer fixated on revenge cannot think in sequence. One has to think in sequences to have correct sequences. | One’s hardest task sometimes is indicating an inevitable sequence into the future that is invisible to another.

Therefore it is far more common than one would at first imagine to see altered sequences since persons who do not think in sequence do not see altered sequences in their own actions or areas. | Therefore it is far more common than one would at first imagine to see altered sequences since persons who do not think in sequence do not see altered sequences in their own actions or areas. |

Motion pictures and TV were spotted by a recent writer as fixating attention and not permitting it to travel. Where one had TV raised children, it would follow, one possibly would have people with a tendency to altered sequences or no sequences at all. | Motion pictures and TV were spotted by a recent writer as fixating attention and not permitting it to travel.

In madmen the present is the dropped time, leaving them in the haunted past. Just telling a group of madmen to “come up to present time” will produce a few miraculous “cures” And getting the date of an ache or pain will often cause it to vanish. | In madmen the present is the dropped time, leaving them in the haunted past.

One does not have to concern oneself to define philosophic truth or reality to see that something stated or modeled to be one thing is in actual fact something else and therefore an out-point. | One does not have to concern oneself to define philosophic truth or reality to see that something stated or modeled to be one thing is in actual fact something else and therefore an out-point. |
