Action

Node Identity

This node defines how action is classified within CFIM360.

The terms here do not describe behavior, steps, or execution sequences. They describe what kind of action something is, independent of how or when it is used.

This node exists to prevent category confusion. It separates doing from governing, evaluating from structuring, and signaling from directing.

Terms in this node define action semantics, not action itself.

Glossary Classification System

Glossary terms in CFIM360 are not uniform. Each term carries a suffix that declares how it should be read.

The suffix is not stylistic. It constrains interpretation.

Suffix Definitions

P — Primitive

An irreducible reference term. It cannot be derived from other terms.

D — Distinction

A paired or comparative construct. It only makes sense in relation to its counterpart.

S — Structure

A stable configuration or topology that persists across contexts.

M — Mode

A way perception or intelligence operates.

F — Form

A recurring pattern that appears across systems or situations.

Containers in This Node

The Action node contains the following containers. Each container groups terms by their operational role, not by importance or sequence.

Executable Forms

Terms that describe actions which can be entered, enacted, or instantiated directly.

Governing Forms

Terms that constrain or shape action without being executed themselves.

Evaluative Forms

Terms used to assess state, alignment, or risk without prescribing behavior.

Structural Forms

Terms that define how systems are organized rather than how they act.

Non-Directive Forms

Terms that inform or stabilize action without issuing commands or control.

Executable Forms

Terms that describe actions which can be entered, enacted, or instantiated directly.
