<p>Who is at play?</p>
<p>Agents can be living or nonliving. They can emerge for a geological or a biological process as well as from human engineering. We can generalise agents as patterns: temporarily stable patches of order.</p>
<p>Examples of agents include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Cells</li>
<li>Organs</li>
<li>Organisms</li>
<li>Species</li>
<li>Taxa</li>
<li>Communities</li>
<li>Cultures</li>
<li>Artificial agents</li>
<li>Robots</li>
</ul>
<p>Agents always exist in collectives, assemblages, networks.</p>
