==== An agent is a self-maintaining, self-updating, goal-oriented, information-processing system that arises from the interaction of: ====
# State
# Memory
# Perception
# Simulation
# Cognition
# Action
# Environment
# Environment-of-Environments (multi-scale embedding)
# Symmetry + Gauge Invariance
# Perspectival Observation (Generalized Observer Theory)
# Coordination + Collective Agency
# Self-Referential Monadic Closure (Obatala Monad)

All platform architectures (Kogi → Nandi; Ume; Oru; Qala; Imewe; Obatala-Studio-OS) are special cases of this theory. The theory of agent is the foundation of:
* The Kogi Doctrine (worker-centric, portfolio-centric, cooperative, symmetric)
* The Obatala Monad (formal agent substrate)
* SDELang (agent simulation & compilation language)
* The Nandi-platform (unified worker agency OS)

This unified theory integrates:
* symmetry, gauge invariance, perspective transformation
* category theory (fibration, double categories, adjunctions)
* memory/state/identity
* intelligence, cognition, perception
* simulation and model-based reasoning
* multi-agent collectives and organizations
* formal laws and equation systems
* a unified algebra of agency
