TFNR - Agency
It is the capacity to produce Action.
Agency is the power/capacity/ability to act, to make Events happen, to create/evolve the Reality, to exert a causal power, to operate Reality, in detail, to perturbate, propagate, conserve, to relate, to organize, transform and select, to structure and interact, to produce Existence as a whole (the Forms and the Universe in Evolution).
Agency means capacity of Agents / Forces to produce events, to make actions, to produce changes, variations, in/on Acted / Fields. So, Agency has two complementary, inseparable, aspects: a causal side and a variational side. We call Causality, the causal aspect of the expression of Agency by the active side of Sources (Agents / Forces), and Variationality (Spatiality and Temporality) the variational aspect of the expression of Agency by the passive side of Sources.
Doing Agency means produce Events (Physical Events and Cognitive Events, or meta-events), Relations (Physical Relations and Cognitive Relations), Processes (Physical Processes and Cognitive Processes).
Agency is the fundamental expression / property of the Sources. It is the power/capacity/ability to act, to make Events happen, to create/evolve Reality, to exert a causal power, to operate Reality, in detail, to perturbate, propagate, conserve, to relate, organize, transform and select, to structure and interact, to exist as a whole (the forms and the Universe). Agency means capacity to produce events, to make actions, to produce changes in/on a field.
A very important clarification:
- only the Causal Agents, the Fundamental Force and the Derived Forces, all the forces at play in the Formation of Reality, can express Causal Action
- the Variational Acted', the Elementary Field and the Derived Fields, all the fields whose deformation produces the Formation of Reality, 'cannot in any way express Causal Action, neither directly (action) nor indirectly (reaction)
- the reaction by a field to the variation produced by the action of a force can generate a (counter) force, an opposing force. Causal Action is always exerted by a force. Causal Action is force, and vice versa. They are the same thing.
