Gradual action can be [described](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/describe.md) by identifying intervals of time (or [locations](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/location.md) in [spacetime](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/spacetime.md) _during which_ [specific](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/specific.md) action occurred.
+
+Most actions and [reactions](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/reaction.md) can be clearly identified within a larger context of [complex](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/complex.md) simultaneous [interaction](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/interaction.md). However, agents rarely bother to thoroughly describe interactions, partly for these practical reasons:
+
+1. Agents, and many other complex _adaptive_ [systems](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/system.md), are closely related to [_regulation_](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/regulate.md) _and_ [_repair_](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/repair.md) __ [_systems_](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/system.md) which [enable](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/enable.md) them to create [significant](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/significance.md) action _without_ deeply influencing their specific traits. (These regulating and repair systems may sometimes be distinguished as [subsystems](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/subsystem.md) or as external [_support_](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/support.md) _systems_.)
+2. Many interactions occur between elements of such vastly different [scales](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/scale.md) that it seems practically impossible-- and unimportant-- to identify significant changes in most of the interacting elements. For [example](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/example.md), it’s unimportant (to humans, so far) to identify the influence of an _accelerating_ automobile upon the _velocity_ of the Earth, which technically does have an “equal and opposite” _inertial_ reaction. Likewise, it’s unimportant to determine the _microscopic_ (tidal) influence of the moon’s gravity upon a puddle.
+
+On a closely related note, many _abundant_ and _easily_ [_accessed_](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/access.md) resources, such as oxygen for respiration, are generally taken for granted ([assumed](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/assume.md) and ignored) by most if not all agents within specific contexts.
