+16. runtime control-flow emulation is forbidden in actions, state-machine member

 ## 7. reentrancy and nested dispatch
 1. an actor MUST NOT call its own `process_event` (directly or indirectly) from inside a guard/action. this prevents unbounded recursion and makes WCET analysis tractable. (motivation: `process_event` is synchronous and can be re-entered; SML users report deep call stacks if they do this.)
