Evolution and differentiation
Genus
How do different kinds of agents emerge?
Genus examines how agents acquire different capabilities and pass them on. It begins with agentic profiles: autonomy, efficacy, goal complexity, and generality. The proposed studies compare tools, memory, copying rules, and ways of learning, tracing which advantages persist when the task or environment changes.
