agency everywhere

“Weiss (2013) defines four classes of agents:

Logic-based agents – in which the decision about what action to perform is made via logical deduction;

Reactive agents – in which decision making is implemented in some form of direct mapping from situation to action;

Belief-desire-intention agents – in which decision making depends upon the manipulation of data structures representing the beliefs, desires, and intentions of the agent; and finally,

Layered architectures – in which decision making is realized via various software layers, each of which is more or less explicitly reasoning about the environment at different levels of abstraction.”

what does agency for organisations of people look like?

From Staicy Alaimo, Exposed (p8)

"Jeffrey Jerome Cohen posits a relation between theories of material agency and activism: “Agency is distributed among multifarious relations and not necessarily knowable in advance: actions that unfold along the grid surprise and then confound. This agentism is a form of activism: only in admitting that the inhuman is not ours to control, possesses desires and even will, can we apprehend the environment disanthropocentrically, in a teetering mode that renders human centrality a problem rather than a starting point.”
