Statement
A notion of agency that applies at every scale of description is derived from a theory of the abstraction of agency, which characterizes both the continuity of a concept across an ontological crisis and agency itself.

Notes
A mid-level plan of Stage 6, an and of the two parts its Statement names: the deconfusion the roadmap calls 'story of a blob' (continuity of concepts across crises together with agency) and the abstraction of agency. The phrase 'story of a blob' has no further development in this repository.
