Agency

Definition

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).

Agency is the main functional expression of the Source. It is the fundamental property of Sources. Agency is the property that allows Sources to produce real Action, the whole Reality.
