Action as Structure

Franz Erhard Walther — First Work Set

Actions repeat according to a fixed procedure.

Outcome varies.

The rule persists.

What doesn’t change?
Actions may differ in appearance, but the rule governing them never shifts. Outcome has no effect on procedure. What continues is repetition held under constraint.
