Actants, Regenerative Tracks

Actants are anything that can influence the system’s behaviour.

• Can be human, non‑human, material, ecological, cultural, technological, or symbolic
• Shape dispositions, shift constraints, and interact with each other in unpredictable ways
• Are not “stakeholders” — they are forces
• Acknowledge that agency is distributed

Regenerative Tracks is rich with actants and the program design implicitly treats them as co‑designers of entrepreneurial outcomes
