What I've found is that at a very high tone level a person is pervasive, i.e. they do not occupy a point of view at a single location in space. Instead they occupy a whole space when "in" a universe.

Farther down the tone scale, and at most likely by Exhilaration 8.0, the person is only occupying a single viewpoint in space. Almost by definition any tone higher than exhilaration would have to occupy (be) more than a single location because it would be above the emotional range. Why? Because an emotional tone is the service facsimile of the single viewpoint of the terminal, an ATTITUDE derived from the person identifying self with a terminal. Let me repeat that because it is important: an emotion is an attitude; and the attitude used at any tone is a "make self right", "self" in this case being a terminal (GPM terminal) which the person has identified with in an A=A=A manner. The emotional part of the tone scale represent a descending scale of increasingly solidified and narrowing attitude held at a single location in space. As I've mentioned in several other places in the Ghost Danse, a person is not restricted to any single tone on the scale. A person uses, and indeed IS the whole tone scale -- and is apparently "at" whatever tone(s) they have their attention on. The problem with most of the tone scale is the same one as the problem of occupying a single location in space: the person is subaware of being (occupying) the abandoned territory in both cases.

It is in the emotional range -- which can be experienced in and by the body (4.0 to 0.0 range) -- where the single viewpoint meets the range of effort. LRH's material sometimes puts forth the idea that effort begins subdeath. This is not quite accurate. Subdeath is basically where emotion has dwindled to nothing so that the only thing remaining is the effort. Effort actually begins to shade into/with emotion at or around Antagonism 2.0.

The whole tone scale is a cycle, like a cycle of action -- which contains many smaller cycles within its larger cycle. Within the tone scale's energy range (thought, emotion and effort), the cycles take on the appearance roughly of:
start equivalent to dispersal,
change equivalent to flow, and
stop equivalent to ridge.
This is viewing the cycle as energy types.

(LRH in his PDC lectures [PDC #19 I believe] put forth the idea that the cycle of energy was flow-dispersal-ridge. This is incorrect. Nevertheless LRH's observations were valid! It was his conclusion which was false. I'm not sure what is the cause of what he observed, but LRH's observations of flows going splat, then ridge are true enough. There is another example of an incorrect sequence: in astrology, the signs run flow-ridge-dispersal. This is also incorrect. From this I tentatively posit that these were both created deliberately wrong at some time in the past. Whether as a game, a persistence, or an "implant" I have no opinion.)

Please note that the emotional tone scale begins with a single effortless cycle of attitude/single viewpoint:
Exhilaration = dispersal
Enthusiasm = flow
Conservatism = ridge
... before the onset of efforting (which efforting is resistance and/or enforcement).

Therefore you can take an alternative view of plus emotion as being basic attitude, with negative emotion being attitude plus effort. Interestingly, when the Co$ revamped dianetics to ask for earlier somatic rather than earlier similar incident (narrative content), what they did was target effort, because pains, sensations and misemotions all contain or are "in" the effort band of the tone scale. As the church 60's definition of clear involves being no longer effect of the force in pictures, then one can see that sort of clear is clear of unwanted or reactive effort.
