ACTION = INSIGHT = DECODING - ENCODING (CODEC, PROTOCOL)
Action is a process whose properties are determined by computation and the mathematical theory of communication - packaging things for safe transmission. All transmission is from past to future and distance may be involved too. How fleeting ideas are. Another one just flitted by like the bats in this house. Systems with memory are spatially deployed. The basic pixel of definition is a spacetime volume of h, the time integral of spatial phenomena like potential and kinetic energy.
One writes a song and repeats it over and over again so that the details become second nature and the singer can concentrate on dramatic expression. While writing I write and delete many times until I come to an acceptable representation of what I am trying to say and then move on to the next sentence without any performance just (ultimately) publication without promotion so others

can read it. One day, however, when it is all finished it will be ready for publication.
My model of the Universe is a model of myself, as microcosm to macrocosm.
