TCFC-02 — Action, Trace, and Horizon under Finite Capacity: From Accountable Conduct to Accountable Continuation

This paper introduces Action, Trace, and Horizon under Finite Capacity as the second record in the Trace–Continuation under Finite Capacity (TCFC) series of the Synkyria Project. TCFC-01 developed witnessed continuation by showing that admissibility-relevant traces must either be witnessed, safely discharged, or persist as unreviewable burden. This paper extends that result by clarifying the relation between action, trace, and future horizon. Under finite capacity, action is not exhausted by its immediate execution. Each action leaves a trace, and each trace reshapes the field of admissible next continuations. The paper introduces a finite-capacity grammar in which action is understood as conduct that modifies…
