Agent Action

An Agent Action is a system outcome by an agent (through intentional behavior or reactive response).

• AKA: Agent Response, Agent Behavior, Agent Operation.
• Context:
  • It can (typically) involve Action Selection through decision processes.
  • It can (typically) affect Environment State through causal impact.
  • It can (typically) pursue Agent Goals through goal-directed behavior.
  • It can (typically) utilize Agent Resources through resource allocation.
  • It can (typically) follow Action Patterns through behavioral rules.
  • ...
  • It can (often) be preceded by an Agent Decision/Agent Choice through deliberation.
  • It can (often) generate Action Feedback through outcome monitoring.
  • It can (often) adapt to Environmental Change through learning mechanisms.
  • It can (often) coordinate with Other Agents through interaction protocols.
  • ...
  • It can range from being an Individual Agent Act to being a Collective Act, depending on its agent count.
  • It can range from being an Automatic Agent Act to being a Reflective Agent Act, depending on its cognitive depth.
  • It can range from being an Involuntary Act to being a Voluntary Act, depending on its control level.
  • It can range from being an Egoistic Act to being an Altruistic Act, depending on its motivation type.
  • It can range from being an Intelligent Agent Action to being a Non-Intelligent Agent Action, depending on its processing complexity.
  • It can range from being a Single-Agent Action to being a Multi-Agent Action, depending on its participation scope.
  • ...
  • It can belong to an Agent Action Pattern through behavioral templates.
  • It can optimize Performance Metrics through feedback learning.
  • It can maintain Action History through memory systems.
  • It can implement Action Strategy through decision rules.
  • It can manage Resource Constraints through allocation policy.
  • ...
• Examples:
  • Decision Acts, such as:
    • Agent Decision Acts, such as:
      • Choice Selection for option evaluation.
      • Strategy Formation for plan creation.
  • Emotional Acts, such as:
    • Emotional Agent Actions, such as:
      • Affective Response for emotional expression.
      • Mood Regulation for emotional control.
  • Economic Acts, such as:
    • Economic Agent Actions, such as:
      • Resource Exchange for value transfer.
      • Utility Maximization for benefit optimization.
  • Moral Acts, such as:
    • Moral Agent Actions, such as:
      • Ethical Choice for value alignment.
      • Social Responsibility for moral obligation.
  • Biological Acts, such as:
    • Ant Actions, such as:
      • Pheromone Trail for path marking.
      • Food Gathering for colony survival.
  • ...
• Counter-Examples:
  • Deterministic Step, which lacks agent autonomy.
  • Random Event, which misses intentional control.
  • Natural Process, which excludes agent involvement.
  • Mechanical Operation, which avoids decision making.
