Initiatee

The following ceremony is gone into at the time of initiation. When there is more than one initiatee, all should stand in a row facing the Holy Scripture. One of the five reciters then holds the Amrita. Two of them stand on his right and left, the forth stands behind the initiatees to dress their hair from back to the front, if necessary. The fifth pours five handsful, chullas, of Amrita into the buk (palms of both hands joined together in a hollow forming a sort of cup) of the initiatees who drink it at once.

Initiative is the ability possessed by one person to lay out work for another. The initiator is limited only by hours of wakefulness and the scope of his imagination. He organizes conventions, appoints committees, placing others like himself at their head. And then one of these initiators calls upon the initiatee with imperative command: “Do this,” and he doeth it.

Thus information processing tendencies on the part of the initiator lead him to direct his relationship with the initiatee along the lines in which he originally perceived the initiatee, lines which are often dictated by stereotypical information.

Furthermore, the initiatee is the one who takes the initiative, with gestures that again seem to fall short of girlish ignorance. The narrator’s judgment that the girl is “inexperienced but active” cannot quite restore coherency to her image, which remains contradictory. Hence, the act of initiation as such becomes subtly devalued.

May usually enjoyed the camaraderie of the senior initiation process. She had been doing it for so long on the “initiator’s” side that she had no sense of the agony of the “initiatees.”

Then we have the drama of breaking the pot. This is when an initiatee dies during the period of initiation. A pot is carried to the house of the initiatee and is allowed it to drop broken infront^([sic]) of the parents.

When a TCP connection is established, the initiating host sends an arbitrary initial sequence number to the initiatee. The initiatee adds 1 to the sequence number and returns it to the initiator in the acknowledgement field, thereby indicating the next byte that should be sent.

All of this discussion will revolve around the initiatee because we presume that the initiator has enough resources to start the association and is doing everything it can to get the association up. If the sender of the INIT (the initiator) does not have enough resources to begin an association, it should reject the upper layer’s request before sending out the INIT. Now, the receiver of the INIT, the initiatee, does not have this luxury.
