Definitionv1
Agent monitoring: the practice of systematically observing
Agent monitoring: the practice of systematically observing cognitive systems you've built to distinguish between 'running' and 'working,' between activity and progress, and between habits that drive results and habits that just make you feel busy
Why This Is a Definition
This definition precisely establishes 'agent monitoring' by naming its genus (systematic observation of cognitive systems) and differentia (distinguishing between 'running' and 'working' and between activity and progress) while clarifying what it's not (just watching) and what it's for (determining if systems are actually productive rather than just active)
