Evolved vs. designed origin is not a definitive guide to agency; rationally engineered systems can be true cognitive agents.Rejects the notion that only evolutionary history confers intrinsic motivation or 'true' cognition.
Natural evolution is not the only acceptable origin story for a true Agent.Rational engineering can also create minds; evolution is just a hill-climbing algorithm.
