Canonical Action

One of the thirty named operational actions in the OMG Action Catalog. The pillar distribution is asymmetric: seven Optimize actions (O-1 to O-7), ten Manifest actions (M-1 to M-10), and thirteen Generative actions (G-1 to G-13). The asymmetry reflects operational reality: Optimize work concentrates in fewer high-leverage actions; Manifest and Generative work distributes across more actions because each addresses a narrower aspect of the pillar’s remit. A complete OMG engagement does not require all thirty actions; selection follows from what AS surfaces as deficient.
