I think you've fallen victim to an anthropomorphic fallacy here. I see what you're trying to do; as someone who owns a lot of animals I spend a good amount of time observing their behavior patterns. But one could just as easily describe them with a 4 act structure or in terms of stimulus-response behavior.
I guess my point is that while we need language to specify what a 3-act structure is, the underlying behavior from which the pattern is an abstraction does not need language.
