The self does not have agency. The self is a model of the mind’s agency: it does not make but documents decisions, for learning and communication. That’s why the self is tied to the experience of volition. (The self is also a model of what the mind experiences and how it reacts.)

What!? :) I try to reversetranslate "agency" as an "administrative instrument". I like your Modeling even though i think i cant get my head arround it completely :) Greetings

That was a joke, based on the double meaning of agency in English. It is mostly translated as “Willensfreiheit”, but that does not capture it perfectly well. “Handlungskraft” would be better, but surprisingly that is not a German word.
