1. Arturo de Ascanio's concept on transient actions gets supported. The app will now allow you to flag actions as either 'initial', 'in-transit', or 'final'. These three attributes relate to Jesús Etcheverry's book 'The Magic by Ascanio/La Magia de Ascanio', Vol. 1, chapter on 'Timing and its fundamentals'. In this first approach, the colours yellow, red, and cyan (in bold) will be used to mark these action attributes, respectively. Future versions may bring a more sophisticated graphic set. This new addition will help address the 'grammar of deception'.
