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.)
Replying to @AlexLYoung
It is less of a theory and more of an attempt to define the terms so they can actually mean things, and can be mapped to the observables. My confidence that the present definitions are coherent (i.e. could be implemented directly or with minor patches) is above 90%.
