Agency in Noema is an operational term: the recorded chain from want to intention to plan to action to observation, and the measured relations along it. The rule underneath it is that a mind may want, intend, commit and plan, but none of that is authority; authority is decided outside cognition by policy rows and named people.
## "Why did this happen?"
Every execution, approval, capability request, intention, plan step and event can be explained forensically from recorded state: the causal chain back through the plan, the intention and its source wants, the commitments consulted, the beliefs relied on as they stood at the time, and the policy decision. Outcomes are attributed conservatively as caused, followed, independent or unknown, and the interface shows the chain on a "why" page.
