Draw out fighting scenarios: combat, hunting, predating

Tell the story of a few simple fighting scenarios and what tests would be done to resolve the conflict.

In a non-combat state, any entity could initiate combat with another or join combat in process. Combat would cease when only one entity has the ability to act or perhaps some distance/aggro/escape threshold is passed.

In hunting and predating, I expect a common outcome is that the prey runs off or hides, which would test the predator for tracking or interest.

The purpose of the combat state, other than semantics, may be a change in UI, to focus the options (as being attacked would likely preempt whittling) and trigger more complex or adrenalized calculations for awareness and decision-making.
