Create a systems-theoretic taxonomy of computational agency grounded in Foerster’s Non-Trivial Machines, integrating behavior, resources, interaction properties, and governability.
## Problem
Existing capability classifications are fragmented (complexity, architecture, AI tasks, cybernetics, governance/risk). We lack a shared multidimensional map.
## Outcome
A rigorous capability space:
- dimensions such as governability, reliability, adaptivity, reflexivity, autonomy/sovereignty
- operational tests / indicators where possible
- mappings from systems (agents/services/orgs) into the space
- connections to governance and risk controls
## Boundaries (v0.1)
- Establish vocabulary, dimension definitions, and orthogonality discussions.
- Produce diagrams and examples rather than chasing completeness.
## Success criteria (v0.1)
- A paper-grade outline + a stable diagrammatic “map”.
- A small library of example classifications (LLM agent, company process, service).
