Maybe a different way to describe action symbols would be like moves in a board game. They contain dynamic info relevant to other players, whereas strategy/considerations are vocalized in negotiations or used to justify the actions/words that [i]are[/i] visible. You mentioned that interjecting personality was important to you as a writer—it could be a good challenge to saturate the words and actions of a character with personality rather than describing it directly.
