ADDITIVES

ADDITIVES
ScnMaster
things which have been added. This usually has a bad meaning in that an additive is said to be something needless or harmful which has been done in addition to standard procedure. Additive normally means a departure from standard procedure. For example, an auditor puts different or additional words into a standard process or command. It means a twist on standard procedure. In common English, it might mean a substance put into a compound to improve its qualities or suppress undesirable qualities. In Dianetics and Scientology it definitely means to add something to the technical procedure resulting in undesirable results. —Intro to Scn Ethics Glossary (app. 14.7.90)
