Purpose

This paper is in two parts. The purpose of the first part was to explore the basis for the creation of an agentic ecology theory that could provide a generic multidisciplinary context-free manifold that can be applied to specific domains and contexts. As an element of this, it explored the relationship between agency and its agents (at various foci) and the nature of agency ecologies. It also explored the relationship between viability and sustainability. In this second part, the purpose is to create an agency model that will recognise the analytical and decision-making attributes of the viability–sustainability relationship by centring on the modelling a socioeconomic ecosystem and a social disciplinary species model.

Design/methodology/approach

Agency theory will be used to model a generic agency ecology and its environment of subordinate elements – especially those subordinates that can be used as amenities to satisfy the needs to agency development. Part 1 of the paper took a tour of concepts relevant to the representation of ecosystem structures and their application. Part 2 will centre on delivering a schema capable of embracing agency ecology from which applications may derive.

Findings

It is shown agency theory is not only a modelling schema but can also provide diagnosis to examine the condition of, or for locating problems within, an agency in its ecosystem environment. This is illustrated within a socioeconomic context.

Research limitations/implications

The paper is conceptual in nature, without any to diagnose any substantive issues within the socio-economic context.

Originality/value

A generalized agency ecology approach is proposed over this two-part paper that is novel through the use of 3rd order cybernetics.

代理、通用生态系统和可持续发展：第 2 部分作为生态系统的代理

目的

本文分为两部分。第一部分的目的是探索创建代理生态学理论的基础，该理论可以提供可应用于特定领域和上下文的通用多学科无上下文流形。作为其中的一个元素，它探讨了代理与其代理（在不同的焦点）之间的关系以及代理生态的性质。它还探讨了可行性和可持续性之间的关系。在第二部分中，目的是创建一个代理模型，该模型将通过围绕社会经济生态系统和社会学科物种模型的建模来识别生存能力-可持续性关系的分析和决策属性。

设计/方法/方法

代理理论将用于建模通用代理生态及其从属元素的环境 - 特别是那些可以用作满足代理发展需求的便利的下属。本文的第 1 部分介绍了与生态系统结构的表示及其应用相关的概念。第 2 部分将集中于提供一个能够包含代理生态的模式，应用程序可以从中派生。

发现

它表明代理理论不仅是一种建模模式，而且还可以提供诊断以检查其生态系统环境中代理的状况或定位其中的问题。这在社会经济背景下得到了说明。

研究限制/影响

这篇论文本质上是概念性的，没有在社会经济背景下诊断任何实质性问题。

原创性/价值

这篇由两部分组成的论文通过使用三阶控制论提出了一种通用的代理生态学方法。
