| The Protagonist is in an initial state, before beginning to be involved in the Activity, but all pre-conditions for performance of the Activity have been satisfied. In many cases, the Protagonist is an intentional agent, but there are other uses in which the agent is deprofiled, and the Protagonist is an entity which is essential to the Activity. Alternatively, the Activity may be indicated by a Salient_entity which stands in for the Activity. This Salient_entity may also be an intentional agent, but need not be. | |
