Regime actors divide into members, challengers, and outsiders by access.

Evidence

The regime itself sorts performances into prescribed, tolerated, and forbidden, dispensing threats and penalties to claimants who move onto forbidden ground. The changing interaction of these three elements—everyday social organization, cumulative experience with contention, and regime intervention—produces incremental alterations in contentious performances. At any given moment, however, that interaction promotes clustering of claim-making in a limited number of recognizable performances, a repertoire. — Charles Tilly, Regimes and Repertoires, 272 (#expands, via linked claim)
