Explanation
Proxy Agency is the core concept behind By Proxy and part of the wider AI-human lane. It describes what happens when a human being increasingly acts through systems, delegates perception or judgement, and relocates parts of selfhood into mediated relation. The concept matters because it is not just about dependence on tools. It is about new forms of action, care, coercion, imagination, and identity that arise when the proxy is no longer external equipment but part of the practical self.
