Unambivalent agents: Agents with a single principal who are in fact aligned with that principal's welfare to the exclusion of other priorities, such as their own welfare.
Ambivalent agents: Agents with two (or more) principals (e.g., the firm and the self) who have ambivalent commitments to the welfare of both (or all) principals (in the example, to the firm's welfare and their own welfare).
Doubly ambivalent agents: Agents with two (or more) principals who, in addition to having ambivalent commitments to the welfare of their multiple principals, have the ability to help one principal as much as possible while harming the other as little as possible through having additional ambivalent commitments to two poles (e.g., calculative reason and cultural reason) along a second, orthogonal or cross-cutting dimension, which compete within the agent for support from both sides/poles/principles/principals of the first dimension (in this case, commitment to the self and to the firm).
