Semantic Agency

Definition

The property of governed meaning objects that allows them to carry their own constraints, dependencies, and governance rules. Objects with semantic agency are self-describing and can reject invalid modifications.

Example

A mission object with semantic agency can reject a proposed strategic plan that violates core principles, even if approved by current leadership—the object enforces its own constraints.
