Something that happens: a battle, a storm, a signing, a red moment. An
episodic occurrence — anchor it with `when`/`where` as known; vagueness is
legal. Recurrent patterns are `action/practice`.

Actions are entities. What makes one an action is that it happens, and
happening is not a kernel mechanic: `when` and `where` are open to every
artifact, and the flat ontology already refuses to privilege the actor over
the acted-upon. The hexagon and colour used to be hard-coded in the viewer
against a kind; declaring them here is what the lens is for.

`participates` pins its `action` member to this type, so the one guarantee
the kind used to carry survived the move (KERNEL v0.17).
