Agency and Freedom

Recognition, persistence under domination, bodily non-conscription, and the conditions of meaningful action.

Read the status before treating a working document as final. Each overview states purpose, limits, and relationship to the larger body of work.

Central claim

Agency is not adequately described by isolated choice; it depends on recognition, standing, enabling conditions, temporal continuity, and limits on conscription.

Boundary and status
