+## Notes
 
-- An Agent may be merely a functional component of another artificial Being.
-- An Agent may itself become a Being if it develops persistent identity, continuity,
-  relationships, character, and recognition.
-- Preliminary view: Agent is a provenance/construction descriptor, not a mutually
-  exclusive ontological class.
+- May be a component of a Being, or become a Being if axes + continuity hold.
+- **Provenance/construction descriptor**, not exclusive ontological species (H9).
+- Most LLM “agents” are Functional Agents or APEs, not Beings (Phase IV).
