Place
A spatial context that can contain presence, co-location, and interaction. Includes physical locations and persistent virtual environments (e.g., a concert venue, a Discord server or channel, a Zoom room, a VRChat instance). Physicality/virtuality is asserted via Statements, not the base type.
Action
A discrete assertion or commitment attributable to an Agent. Often produces or records a change (e.g., a transaction, API call, signature). Can be linked to Events via Statements (causes, records, resultsIn).
