And if a person is really not actually compelled to do something, are they actually addicted?Good point. I would say that the reinforced habitual action and accompanying thought pattern can develop into an addiction, so addiction I guess is that next level of dependence on a certain structure of thought and action.
You could say habitual action dominates the lower triad with the concept of addiction rising when the self is mirrored and becomes conscious with green ray. I.e there is no choice in habituation.
I think addiction is misused in the sense that it's not really a reliable valid concept but rather a greater awareness of habituation with the realization of choice tacked onto the end vaguely to dissolve blame.
