# Economic agent
A.k.a. Economic space agent. An actor (individual, collective, organization, AI agent, network itself) capable of participating in and performing economic computation within a specific economic space, according to its governing protocols.
An economic agent is not just a "user" or "node"; instead an agent possesses defined capabilities (agency) within the protocol. Exists natively to the economic protocol logic.
