It is not clear to me what this post is aiming at. It seems to be a mix of proposing a pragmatic model of agency, though it sounds like it is trying to offer a general model of agency. But it doesn’t discuss why coalitions are used except as a means to reduce some problems other implementations of agents have. It also doesn’t give details on what model of goals it uses.
I’m fine with throwing out ideas on what agency is—the post admits that this is exploratory. We do not have a grounded model of what goal and agency are. But I wish it would go more in the direction of Agency As a Natural Abstraction and a formalization of what a goal is to begin with.
