What do we mean by participation?

This week in the private forums we are discussing the question: What do we mean by participation?

To get us started, I provided the following dictionary definition:

“to be involved with others in doing something : to take part in an activity or event with others”.

While this is a definition, does it express what we mean by participation in the context of projects/designs/research, etc?

To provoke further discussion, it is worth considering the Public Involvement Continuum proposed in the Community-Led Libraries Toolkit created by the Working Together Project:
