Despite this effort, no formal mathematical theory of agent interaction languages and protocols yet exists.
This usage is now outdated, as it has become common to refer to this position as the theory of agent-causation or the agent-causal account of agency (see section 3.1).
As an attempt to integrate explanatory elements from both universalist and contextualist theories, I propose a psycho- historical theory of agent- identification (hereafter "psycho-historical theory") in the following sections.
To overcome explanatory limitations of proposals that adopt either universalist or contextualist approaches in isolation, I propose a philosophical model that integrates contributions from both traditions: the psycho-historical theory of agent-identification ("psycho-historical theory" henceforth).

Recent research in artificial intelligence has developed computational theories of agents' involvements in their environments.
In particular, he is focused on how children and adults come to form intuitive theories of agents and objects, and providing both a functional and algorithmic account of how these theories are learned.
However, because universalist theories of agent-identification have not systematically investigated the relations between historical feelings and agent-identification, the psycho-historical approach can be used to expand their research programmes.
Evidence gathered by universalist theories of agent-identification suggests that the basic recognition mechanisms for agent-identification are easily triggered by specific stimuli such as biomechanical patterns and face-like objects.
In contrast to the psycho-historical approach, universalist theories of agent-identification have not systematically investigated the diversity of tracking processes and social mechanisms involved in human agent-identification. Universalist theories have prioritised the study of recognition-based agent tracking over other types of tracking such as heuristic-based and explanation-based tracking.
In contrast to universalist theories of agent identification (see above), the historical ontology of the psycho-historical theory distinguishes the mechanisms that generate real agents (left-hand side of Fig. 2 and concepts 1A to 5A in Table 1) from the mechanisms that generate experience of and beliefs about apparent agency (right-hand side of Figs. 2, 3; and concepts 1C to 5C in Table 1).
