the
action of something being made, done or caused to happen again. Used in this sense to
denote unnecessary or wasted
motion. In
Scientology,
duplication is also used to describe the
action of reproducing something exactly. For
example, if Person A communicated the
concept of a
cat to Person B and Person B
got the exact same
concept of a
cat without any alteration, Person B would be said to have duplicated what was originated by Person A.
