Action is happening 100% of the time in 100% of time and space. There are constant sub-molecular actions going on all the time even in inanimate objects, so no matter what everyone and everything is constantly in action. Most determinations of "action" are above this sub-molecular level, such as when an apple falls from a tree, and since everything was in action prior to that, that definition of action is "action within action"? So when you define something as an action, it was already in action, so that definition of action was meaningless. It's just that the action changed, the things that were in action changed their action, etc.
