An Activity is an event that involves action or change over activity time period.
- AKA: Action, Act.
- Context:
- It can typically involve Activity Agents performing activity actions.
- It can typically consume Activity Resources through activity utilization.
- It can typically produce Activity Outcomes via activity transformations.
- It can typically occur within Activity Contexts during activity timeframes.
- It can typically demonstrate Activity State Changes through activity progressions.
- It can typically exhibit Activity Continuity across activity durations.
- It can typically manifest Activity Observable Effects through activity executions.
- ...
- It can often require Activity Energy for activity execution.
- It can often follow Activity Patterns across activity instances.
- It can often exhibit Activity Measurable Properties via activity metrics.
- It can often interact with Activity Environments through activity interfaces.
- It can often involve Activity Coordination between activity participants.
- It can often generate Activity Traces in activity records.
- It can often demonstrate Activity Causality through activity consequences.
- It can often require Activity Capabilities from activity performers.
- ...
- It can range from being a Simple Activity to being a Complex Activity, depending on its activity component count.
- It can range from being a Brief Activity to being an Extended Activity, depending on its activity duration.
- It can range from being a Passive Activity to being an Active Activity, depending on its activity energy level.
- It can range from being an Individual Activity to being a Collective Activity, depending on its activity participant scope.
- It can range from being a Discrete Activity to being a Continuous Activity, depending on its activity temporal nature.
- It can range from being a Physical Activity to being a Abstract Activity, depending on its activity manifestation type.
- It can range from being a Voluntary Activity to being an Involuntary Activity, depending on its activity initiation control.
- It can range from being a Goal-Oriented Activity to being a Process-Oriented Activity, depending on its activity purpose structure.
- It can range from being a Observable Activity to being a Hidden Activity, depending on its activity detectability.
- It can range from being a Reversible Activity to being an Irreversible Activity, depending on its activity effect permanence.
- ...
- It can enable Activity Observation through activity manifestations.
- It can support Activity Analysis via activity data collections.
- It can inform Activity Planning through activity pattern recognitions.
- It can facilitate Activity Optimization through activity performance measurements.
- It can require Activity Monitoring for activity quality assurance.
- It can benefit from Activity Automation through activity systematization.

- Cognitive Activities, such as:
- Counter-Example(s):
- Static State, which maintains static state unchanging conditions without activity dynamic change.
- Potential, which represents potential unrealized capabilitys rather than activity actual occurrences.
- Object, which exists as object physical entitys without activity temporal processes.
- Property, which describes property static characteristics rather than activity dynamic behaviors.
- Instantaneous Event, which occurs at event single moments without activity extended duration.
- Passive Condition, which persists without activity active engagement.
