I think that everything could (can and ought to) be framed as an 'audition.' The reframing was useful when viewing observable actions as always having some cost or output. And when you view every action or inaction as an 'audition,' it connotes a sort of weight to one's actions, and (at least for the few I've talked to) encourages a sense of intention. I have a longer draft with flags for hyperlinks, but the shape of the framework is as follows:

1. Person sees value in attaining access to or possession of a thing (a Goal)
2. If observed/functional gap between Person's current skill and Goal:
3. 1. Person attempts feat, fails (based on own measure, external feedback, or lack thereof)
   2. Depending on level of motivation/incentive/pressure to continue, user continues, and gains insight on ways to decrease distance between Current Skill and Goal.
   3. Inspired, person learns, iterates, and tries again (back to Step 1)
3. If no observed/functional gap between Person's current skill and Goal:
4. 1. Person attempts and successfully performs feat, achieves Goal
   2. Inspired by success, person sets sights on new Goals. (back to Step 1)

Examples include: Many cross-media artists, entrepreneurs, dilettantes that eventually learned how to apply skills learned across their career to make diagonal leaps in status, etc.
