I’d go further and say it doesn’t need to target the future at all.
I know there’s a view that, if it chooses some particular output, it’s choosing the future that results from it outputting that output. But if it’s not choosing that output because of the resulting future, but because of some other reasons (like that this is the output that satisfies some properties specified in a query and the query isn’t such as to in effect be asking about the future) then it isn’t in my view agentic at all.
