Description of group items: See below
Hottest? Huh?
One way or another you are supposed to pick the hottest item off the list. It's not a disaster if you get the second-hottest instead, but the idea is to avoid being in the position where you are running some wimpy item and the charge from the really hot item is getting in the way of what you are running instead of it.
How to assess items?
One way is to talk aloud about the item for ten seconds or so. Talk to the wall maybe. If the item is hot, then you might notice your voice catching, or emotion welling up, strong feelings, or something like that. In this case, you should also be interested in running the item.
Mark the read
for each item
Mark the read
or amount of TA,
maybe as a numerical score (0-5), maybe even as a familiar x (no read), sF (small fall), F (fall), LF (long fall), etc.
Description of group items
The condition will vary depending on the target area and the time-period being considered, whether minutes, hours, days, years, centuries or whatever. Always be careful to use an appropriate target area and time period when trying to analyze something using these ethics conditions, and don't try and do it generally. For example, a workaholic man may over a period of 12 months be in Power at work but in Treason to his family at home.
Power: A state of long-term abundance and indispensibility where small ups and downs don't matter at all and will not affect the activity much.
Power change: Turning over the activity to another while it is in a Power condition.
Affluence: A short-term abundance compared to past measures of production.
Normal operation: A generally-expanding scene.
Emergency: A short-term dip compared to past measures of production.
Danger: A short-term deeper dip compared to past measures of production, or a longer-term dip that has continued.
Non-existence: The condition that obtains when new to an activity, or after an activity has effectively collapsed to nothing and one should more or less start from scratch.
Liability: A personal Ethics/Justice condition, where the individual is considered to be working against the group in one area, although supporting it generally.
Doubt: A personal Ethics/Justice condition, where the individual is not sure whether or not to continue to support a particular group.
Enemy: A personal Ethics/Justice condition, where the individual appears to be working against the best interests of the group he has previously supported.
Treason: A personal Ethics/Justice condition, where the individual is considered to have betrayed the group. Sometimes applied arbitrarily in relation to a small part of a person's duties, and in such cases the condition may appear savage and disrelated to the person's general worth and other ongoing contributions.
Confusion: A personal Ethics/Justice condition, where the individual is considered to be "out of it" so much that he needs orienting in his surroundings ("Look at that wall" etc.). Sometimes imposed on juniors capriciously where it really isn't applicable at all.
