Hycon Manifesto Circulate this at will but do not alter these first three lines. A hycon is not a property any more than human beings are property.
Agents carry out the agendas of the humans they represent.
Agents are files of code which interact with their environment, be it through the Internet or through Virtual Reality. They can act apart from their human generator, just as e-mail conveys a message apart from the generating action of its creator. The agent will continue its activities even when the human is offline. For example, an agent might carry a human's resume through the Web from company to company looking for a match and report positive contacts back to the human via e-mail. The human would be responsible for follow-up and of course carry out the activities of any job that was subsequently assigned.
