Status: revised (Phase IV–VI)

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).
