An actor is any entity that can produce or consume organizational events. In Thygon, all participants in your business operations use a unified representation. The platform treats human employees and autonomous scripts with identical programmatic properties.

​
Actor types

Thygon supports four main categories of actors:
  • Human: Employee, contractor, or customer who performs manual tasks.
  • Agent: Autonomous AI agent that makes decisions and triggers events.
  • Workflow: Automated, durable script that executes in response to events.
  • System: External SaaS platform or internal application.

​
The actor model

Every actor has a unique identifier and a type classification. This metadata attaches to every event in the ledger. 
{
  "id": "act_8f9g87a6sd",
  "type": "agent"
}

​
Symmetry of actors

Thygon relies on a core design principle: human and AI symmetry. Both human team members and AI execution agents:
  1. Read the current organizational state.
  2. Make operational decisions.
  3. Emit events to write back to the ledger.
This symmetry ensures that you can audit, manage, and scale AI-driven operations exactly like human teams.
