"Agency" instead of "Agent Swarm" #128

I propse that we call what we today refer to as an "agent swarm" insteat to be named an "Agency". I Argue for this by presenting the definitions of the word "Agency".

The word "Agency" has different meanings depending on the context it is used in:

Sociology and Psychology: In these fields, agency refers to the capacity of individuals to act independently and to make their own free choices.

Legal and Business: In a legal or business context, agency refers to the relationship where one party (the agent) is authorized to act on behalf of another (the principal) in business dealings or other matters.

Governmental and Organizational: An agency in this sense is an organization or unit of a government responsible for a specific area of administration or function.

Philosophical: In philosophy, agency is often discussed in the context of free will and determinism. It refers to the capability of an entity to act in a world controlled by natural laws.

I belive the connotations of "Agency" to be much more reflective of what a group of LLMs working together in order to complete a task represent.

I would be happy about feedback and critiques of this proposition.
