Genuine agency requires the three-layer causa sui structure
"For a system to exercise genuine agency — as opposed to being either a determined mechanism or a random process — it must instantiate the three-layer causa sui structure: self-grounding at the structural, disclosive, and reflexive levels simultaneously."
Addresses the free will debate by specifying what genuine agency requires structurally rather than arguing for or against compatibilism.
Argumentative structure
Concepts employed
Conditions of Agency The structural requirements for a system to exhibit genuine agency; derived from the conditions of intelligibility plus disclosive asymmetry. Three-Layer Causa Sui A structure in which a system is causally self-grounding at three levels: the structural, the disclosive, and the reflexive. Freedom The sole unconditioned ground of all conditioned structures; that which is prior to any possible constraint.
