AGI-Co-Agency

---

AGI-Co-Agency does not define intelligence, autonomy, or control.
It describes a mode of interaction that becomes necessary when no single actor can legitimately claim epistemic primacy.

In systems operating beyond centralized comprehension, agency cannot remain singular without introducing instability.
Attempts to preserve exclusive control force the system to externalize uncertainty, resulting in escalating corrective behavior rather than adaptive coordination.

Co-agency is not a governance model.
It is not a moral position, a safety mechanism, or a design objective.

It emerges when multiple agents—human or artificial—are required to operate within shared constraint, incomplete knowledge, and irreversible consequence, without access to a privileged global view.

In such conditions, agency is no longer exercised through command, prediction, or override.
It is exercised through mutual limitation.

AGI-Co-Agency does not promise alignment.
It formalizes the condition under which alignment ceases to be a unilateral operation.

This document does not propose implementation.
It records a structural necessity.
