Conditions of Agency
The structural requirements for a system to exhibit genuine agency; derived from the conditions of intelligibility plus disclosive asymmetry.
Commitment levels
Engaging this concept at the minimal level requires only acknowledging that the phenomenon it names is real and requires explanation. No specific structural claims are presupposed.
The structural level introduces the formal apparatus associated with the concept and commits to the relationships between it and other core concepts. The full foundational ontology is not required.
Full commitment involves the concept's role in the complete systematic account, including its derivation from Freedom and its cross-domain applications.
Role in the system
This concept functions as a Diagnostic concept. Diagnostic concepts identify structural features that the system uses to analyze and resolve philosophical puzzles. They apply the foundational vocabulary to specific domains.
