ACT Layer

ACT belongs not to the admission layer, but to a separate layer of accounting and provability of actual resource participation.

ACT answers the question: which resource was actually engaged, by whom, where, and in what context.

ACT fixes actual resource participation. It does not fix admission to participation.

ACT is a neighboring layer of actual resource participation, not a sublayer of token mechanics.
