Taking an engineering position towards agency, @2022levinTechnological defines persuadability as the type of conceptual and practical tools that are optimal for rationally modifying a system’s behavior.
Increased persuadability leads to decreased energetic and computational effort needed to achieve system-level changes and amount of mechanistic knowledge needed to exert influence. Instead, the effort is shifted onto the system itself.
