parameters to check for:
This page has moved to https://wiki.issarice.com/wiki/Comparison_of_terms_related_to_agency
 
* is it searching through a list of potential answers?
* does it have an explicit model of the world? i.e. it has counterfactuals (see drescher on subactivation)
* can it be modeled as having a utility function?
* can we take an intentional stance toward it? i.e., is it useful (so far as predicting what it will do is concerned) to model it as having intentions?
* is it solving some sort of optimization problem? (but what counts as an optimization problem?)
* origin: was it itself produced by some sort of optimization process?
* does it hit a small target, out of a large space of possibilities?
* how many elements in the space of possibilities is it instantiating?
 
examples to check against:
 
* humans
* evolution/natural selection
* bottlecap
* RL system playing Pong without an explicit model
* tool AGI/CAIS
* task AGI
* KANSI
* targeting system on a rocket
* single-step filter
* chess-playing algorithm that just does tree search (e.g. alpha-beta pruning algorithm)
* a simple feed-forward neural network (e.g. one that recognizes MNIST digits)
* a plant
