Abstract: In this paper, we present a theory of agency with interaction and expectation as its central concepts. The research was motivated by our work in cognitive brain waves and expectograms, and heavily influenced by the works of Tolman and Piaget. Our intention is to provide remedies for the observed deficiencies in the existing approaches to the problem of autonomous agents (AA) design. A brief critical overview of the relevant agent oriented research is given first. It is followed by the presentation of the theory and an instantiation of it through a simulated AA called “Petitagé” (Pee-ah-zhe). Algebraic framework is presented as a basis for the simulation experiments. The final part of the paper is devoted to the results and discussion of the simulation experiments.
