Part III: Agency — Bacteria and the Spatial Axis
The π-sector: spatial motility and environmental interaction. The agency sector is anchored on the spatial axis of the τ¹ base. Bacteria—the most abundant organisms on Earth, colonizing every environment via flagellar motility, chemotaxis, and horizontal gene transfer—are the biological archetype. Metabolism drives agency as Poincar'e circulation at every scale; ATP provides the universal energy currency. Membranes create the first physical self/non-self boundary, and the three-domain taxonomy is revisited through the sector lens.
