Yes, agency, like truth, or infinity, or perfection, or godhood, or moving half-way across the couch, or half-way across zeno’s line, describes an infinitely logarithmic curve. I always take my terms, whenever possible from the existing sciences, and ‘correct’ (redefine) the term. In social science, one’s social, economic, and political agency is limited by ‘structure’ (institutions), and their (socialist) implication is that differences in income are an institutional choice not a necessity of human cooperation (natural law). In social science then, we are considered to be equal in ability but unequal in institutional benefit. So I extended Agency by correcting the falsehood of equality and necessity.

The Semantics of Agency
(a) when I define a thing, in my arguments, a thing means what I define it to mean, and nothing else. In this case the limit of my definition of agency is omniscience, “omniexperience”, “omnigrammar”, and omnipotence, in thought, emotion, word, and deed. (b) I chose the term agency as I generally do, to extend an existing term that was partly false to one that is not false. (c) I developed ‘Agency’ to provide commensurability with ‘Truth’, ‘Sovereignty’, as approaching but never reaching Completion. (e) and the reason is, that in agency, like truth and sovereignty I cannot know the future structures of all kinds that make those conditions possible, and as such defined it for likewise infinite decidability. (d) The fact that we can organize to produce agency is handled elsewhere, and a given.

“How Do You Verify Truth?” (You Don’t)
—“How do you verify truth?”— Verification is a method of falsification not a means of identifying truth. No matter how many excuses you make (justifications) that does not provide us with confidence of truth. Instead…. Survival, not Proof. You eliminate all falsehoods, and what remains is a truth candidate. You eliminate all falsehoods by attempting to falsify each dimension of actionable reality. And you do so to defend against fictionalisms (lies).
- Identity (categorical consistency)
- Logical (internal consistency)
- Empirical (external correspondence)
- Operational (existential possibility)
- Rational (rational choice)
- Reciprocal (reciprocally rational)
- Complete (scope, limits, and parsimony)
- Coherent (across all these tests)
- Warranty (warranty of having performed these tests).
If all premises and arguments pass these attempts at falsification one may have a truth candidate. Otherwise one does not. This is as certain as the laws of physics, mathematics, and logic. It is very hard for a statement to survive these tests, to give that testimony, and to warranty it.
