- _gabe_ 3y agoThat’s not the definition of invention. > a: something invented: such as (1): a device, contrivance, or process originated after study and experiment (2): a product of the imagination especially : a false conception[0] Studying, experimenting, and imagining all require agency.

- russdill 3y agoSo if a process produces a device such as a bicycle without agency, that process is simply not invention, correct?
