ACTION_CHAIN

Definition

Action-chain, n.. A structure consisting of a type-chain each of whose symbols is sequentially a whole in a tied-wholes chain.

Comments

An action-chain models the change of things with respect to an ordered sequence. Thus it also models change of place of a thing with respect to time, since the tied-wholes chain models space and the type-chain models time. The base of an action-chain consists of the parts of the tied-wholes. They model the action per se. See Table 11, Action Chain, Table 29, Mind Propositions, and Table 16, Threshold.
