摘 要: | The aim of this essay Is to make some brief suggestions on the beginnings of a theory of agentsand agency In branching spacetlmes.foe thought Is to combine the ideas of agency as developed agalnst the relatively simple background of branching time with the richer notions of Indetermlnlsm asstructured In the theory of branching space-times.My plan Is to say a little about agency In branchingtime and a little about branchlg spacetlmes,and then ask how the two can be brought together.Atthe end there Is an appendix,extracted from Belnap,Perloffand Xu 2001(Facing the future,hence-forth FF),listing In a convenient form all the main ideas about agents and their cholcesln branchingtime.
