Communication agent: a reusable cognitive structure that handles recurring communication tasks so deliberate attention can focus on content rather than form, encoding proven frameworks for direct messages, presentations, and difficult conversations
Why This Is a Definition
This definition establishes the precise semantic boundary of 'communication agent' by identifying its genus (reusable cognitive structure) and differentia (handles recurring communication tasks, focuses attention on content rather than form, encodes proven frameworks). It distinguishes communication agents from mere intentions or frameworks by emphasizing their functional role as systems that act on behalf of the individual, removing decision-making from the moment of action. The definition is self-contained and explains what makes communication agents unique within the curriculum's vocabulary.
