# Agent
|
||
|
||
**Status:** revised (Phase IV–VI)
|
||
**See also:** H9, RQ8, `research/ai-agents/agent-architecture-crosswalk.md`
|
||
|
||
## Working definition
|
||
|
||
An **Agent** is an artificial entity or component primarily derived from functional
|
||
purpose.
|
||
|
||
Defining question: **What should this entity be able to do?**
|
||
|
||
| Kind | Meaning |
|
||
|---|---|
|
||
| Functional Agent | Task/tool/orchestrator loops |
|
||
| Autonomous Agent | Closer to autonomous individuality literature |
|
||
|
||
## Notes
|
||
|
||
- 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).
