===== - Agents have intentionality, which means their changes are purposeful or goal-directed. This is a crucial distinction because it allows agents to engage in self-directed change, learning, or adaptation. =====
* Entities are typically non-intentional in nature. They can change, but that change is usually driven by external forces or processes rather than by a purposeful drive from the entity itself.

Example:
* A self-driving car (agent) continuously changes its path and driving behavior based on sensors, road conditions, and traffic patterns in pursuit of a goal (e.g., reaching a destination safely).
* A traffic signal (entity), while capable of changing its state (red, yellow, green), does not decide to change its behavior autonomously. Its changes are determined by external rules or timers.
