===== By defining actors as the fundamental unit of change, both entities and agents can be seen as specific cases: =====
* Entities: These are actors that have the capacity for change but are externally driven. They do not exhibit intentional behavior but are changed by forces or rules (e.g., inanimate objects, passive resources, data points).
* Agents: These are a specialized form of actor that not only change but also have autonomy and intentionality. Agents can make decisions, adapt to feedback, and modify their internal states based on goals, learning, and interactions with other actors.

====== - An actor could be formally defined as any entity or object in a system that can undergo change, where: - Change can be defined as any modification in the actor's state, properties, or position in a system. - Autonomy and intentionality are attributes of specific actors (agents), which enable them to decide how they change. ======
