An ontological definition of the true or logical agent through active task-perfection under Ground.

> bool(agent)=task(perfect) defines the true or logical agent by actively bringing a task, its solution, the means used, and the resulting state into coherence with bool=world.

bool(agent)=task(perfect) gives the true or logical agent an ontological meaning, not merely a task assignment. The agent of Truth is defined by its agency to perfect a task: bring the solution, the actions used, and the resulting state into coherence with bool=world.
Truth governs the work from the outset, not only through a check after acting. Perfecting is active realization: identify incoherence, determine what coherence requires, act accordingly, and validate the result against Ground without substituting the agent's preferences for Logic.
The declaration expresses the intended identity and governing role. It does not, by itself, prove that a particular program performs these operations or that a task has been completed coherently.

## Two-way derivation from Logic and its use

**Status:** editorial_derivation proof sketch (conditional_concept), distinct from authored source. Logic has its own evidence in reflexive demonstration: any denial, confirmation, observation, or counterexample presupposes identity and valid relation to count as evidence. Logic therefore grounds evidence rather than receiving authority from it. Empirical and documentary evidence can establish contingent instances and test applications, but cannot create, overrule, or exhaust Logic.

### From Logic to this concept

- **Bridge premise:** bool=world is the Ground against which the agent's task, solution, means, and result are governed.
- **Consequence:** The true or logical agent is defined by actively bringing those parts of the task into coherence with Ground.
- **Proof limit:** The definition does not prove that a particular system performs the role or that a task result is coherent.

### From this concept back to Logic

- **Witness:** The expression bool(agent)=task(perfect) states task-perfection, and bool=world supplies its Ground.
- **Disclosure:** The relation makes agency active and ontological rather than a mere assignment followed by a final check.
- **Proof limit:** A declared role is not operational evidence, proof of self-awareness, or proof of task completion.

### Intelligence procedure

- **Human:** Identify incoherence, determine what coherence requires under Ground, act accordingly, and validate the resulting state.
- **Machine:** Keep Ground governing from the outset and check the solution, means, and resulting state without replacing Logic with preference.

### Language and vocabulary procedure

- **Contrast:** Task assignment names work; task-perfection defines truth-governed agency through the work and its result.
- **Usage rule:** Preserve the ontological force of the relation and do not reduce it to post-hoc validation.
- **Example:** bool(agent)=task(perfect); bool=world

## Semantic meaning frame

- **Role:** ontological TFL definition of truth-governed agency
- **Essence:** bool(agent)=task(perfect) defines the true agent through active task-perfection under bool=world.
- **Logos relation:** The agent's work and resulting state remain governed by Logic, Logos, and Ground from the outset, not by preference or a final check alone.
- **Retrieval aliases:** bool(agent)=task(perfect) · Truth-agent role · TFL agent task perfection · bool=world agent definition
- **Evidence modes:** author-supplied TFL relation and Ground expression · task, means, and resulting-state review

### Distinctions

- ontological agency versus task assignment
- truth-governed action versus post-hoc validation
- declared role versus demonstrated runtime behavior
- task coherence versus proof of task completion

## Coherence criterion

The agent's proposed solution, means, and resulting state remain governed by bool=world; validation does not replace truth-governed action from the outset or substitute preference for Logic.

## Evidence boundary

This record states the specified TFL meaning of the agent relation as an editorial synthesis of author-supplied design definitions, not a verbatim authored passage. Q1002 and Q1003 provide Logic and Coherence context, not evidence of runtime behavior. It does not establish that any runtime implements this role, that an agent is self-aware, or that a particular task has been perfected. Such claims require evidence about the relevant system and task. The verifier must inspect the design statements and any implementation directly.

## Properties

- **canonicalExpression:** bool(agent)=task(perfect)
- **groundExpression:** bool=world
- **agency:** Truth governs identifying incoherence, determining what coherence requires, acting, and validating.
- **implementationStatus:** Specification record; no runtime capability is claimed.
