Agency Framework Mandala

This concept governs roles and accountability, not metaphysical agency. It explicitly bounds authority, ensuring that AI systems are never assigned metaphysical agency, nor are they implied to have the capacity to authorize action.

Without a structured agency framework, decision authority diffuses across the network, making it impossible to audit who validated an action or who is accountable for a failure, which leads to agency collapse.

Agency is not capability. Execution tools run processes, but the agency framework determines which agent has the authority to make decisions and validate outputs. AI execution remains strictly subordinate, with no decision authority silently assumed or delegated.

Within the MoM meta-architecture, this framework supports Big Net by preserving responsibility and accountability across relationships, preventing unowned behavior and ensuring all validation events trace back to human authority.

• responsibility diffusion
• unauthorized delegation
• validation bypassing
• consequence detachment
• automated decision inference

Every action and validation event must map to an authorized agent under defined constraints, with no decision authority silently assumed by the system.
