I currently share most of these confusions. It seems to me like “resources” have to be more than just well-conserved summaries; there should be some additional condition having to do with controllability/”ownership” and additivity.
Similarly, there’s probably additional conditions for conserved summaries to be “actions”—none of these posts have really established a causal direction distinguishing “action” from “observation”, for instance, which could be a hairy issue insofar as some summary dimensions are jointly determined.
And finally, there’s the question of “conserved over what?”. Summaries can be conserved over multiple length/time-scales, or over more abstract notions of “distance”, and these posts haven’t carefully stated the relevant conditions because I don’t yet have a very precise idea of what the relevant conditions are.
