This is the same frame as category I — there is no ring-bearing "self," only local components whose coupled actions we describe as one closing ring. +**Action is always local; evaluation and preparation may be local or contextual.** This is the +axis beneath the previous point. A phase is *local* when the acting component supplies it itself, +*contextual* when a surrounding or higher component supplies it. Evaluation and preparation come in +both forms: the presynapse evaluates its own release and prepares its own next release (local), +while the calcium channel's influx is evaluated by the presynapse and prepared by neuronal +provisioning (contextual). Action admits no such split — it is always local, and necessarily so. +A component can hold an aggregate and evaluate a neighbor's trace on its behalf, or provision a +neighbor's readiness; but it cannot *act on a neighbor's behalf*, because the action simply is the +local event occurring in that component. To perform another's action would mean it was never that +component's action to begin with. Acting-for-another is not action but signalling. So the one phase +that can never be contextual is action, and this falls directly out of what action is — which is +why every component necessarily has its own action, while its evaluation and preparation may be +scattered into its context. + **The phases are event-delimited and decay-timed, never clocked.** A phase has no fixed duration. The action is the boundary where preparation ends and behaving begins; the fast trace's decay below threshold is roughly where evaluation ends and preparation resumes. The quiet interval between
