MOT is based on actions and relationships between actions. Actions and relationships between actions could define all processes, systems and organisms (including all resources and agents) in MOT, if anyone required that level of detail. "All action all the way down", in other words (no offense meant to turtles).

Problem: When I started writing MOT I defined some deeply action-oriented terms in noun form because (1) that was their predominant use case in my experience, (2) I was overworked and (3) I didn't think about it deeply. I've transformed some of those old entries into verb form but not consistently yet. The longer I keep using them in noun form, the more linked they get & more laborious to update.

To do: Transform many more old base terms into verb form.

I'm still working on this problem. (For example, today I changed representation to represent, and I must revise over fifty old MOT entries to update related links.)

I think I'm mostly done with this transformation to verb forms, but haven't reviewed yet.
