Agentic shift
the psychological transition from an autonomous state where you feel responsible for your own actions to an agentic state where you experience yourself as an instrument of someone else's will, resulting in dissolution of personal responsibility
Why This Is a Definition
This definition precisely identifies 'agentic shift' by naming it, establishing its genus as a psychological transition, and specifying its differentia as the shift from autonomous to agentic state with dissolution of personal responsibility. It clearly distinguishes this from simple compliance by focusing on the psychological mechanism of self-perception and responsibility attribution.
