ActionSystem¶

ActionSystem


Phase · priority	Agency · 40
Reads	`current_action`, `current_action_target`; inventory (`contains`), `water_level`, `fuel_value`, `food_value`
Writes	edges (`contains`), `hunger`, `food_value`, `water_level`, `fuel`, `energy`; events `item_taken`, `item_eaten`, `npc_fetch_water`, `npc_douse_fire`, `npc_tend_fire`, …
Settings	`bite_size` 0.5, `meal_value` 25, `rest_rate_per_hour`
Status	designed · Phase 1 (#37)
PLAN	§7.7, §6.2, §6.4.1, §18.1
Player	Water and buckets · Food

Converts the chosen action into intents, exactly as the §7.7 table states. ActionSystem has no opinion about whether to act; it is the hands.

Action	Intents
`move`	`RemoveEdge(contains, old)` + `AddEdge(contains, new)` — one hop per tick; multi-hop journeys take several ticks
`eat`	`Delta(actor.hunger, −meal_value)` + `Delta(food.food_value, −bite_size)`
`pick_up`	`RemoveEdge(item ← location)` + `AddEdge(item ← actor)` — the single-container rule makes a contested grab resolve to one winner
`drop`	the reverse
`fetch_water`	a `pick_up` of a `Vessel` with `water_level > 0`. Water lives in the vessel, never on the NPC
`douse_fire`	`Delta(target.water_level, +vessel.water_level)` + `Set(vessel.water_level, 0)`; FireSystem decides whether that puts it out
`tend_fire`	`Delta(campfire.fuel, +wood_fuel_value)` + `RemoveEdge(wood ← actor)`
`gather_wood`	`pick_up` of a wood pile
`rest`	`Delta(energy, +PerTick(rest_rate))`

Events are emitted for the feed (npc_fetch_water → Tomas grabbed a bucket from the river). From Phase 2, incidental contact (PLAN §6.4.1) is rolled here as a side effect of execution, seeded and traced.

Hot-toggle: off, decisions are made but nothing happens — a village of intentions. Trace: every intent here carries the action and actor; move intents may carry Inputs naming the path target.
