You jest, but agents are of course already useful and fairly formal primitives. Distinct from actors, agents can have things like goals/strategies. There's a whole body of research on multi-agent systems that already exists and is even implemented in some model-checkers. It's surprising how little interest that creates in most LLM / AI / ML enthusiasts, who don't seem that motivated to use the prior art to propose / study / implement topologies and interaction protocols for the new wave of "agentic".
