I've been reading over some of my blog entries and believe that, again, I need to reinforce the relationship between these notions. So, I'll try once more to be reasonably consistent about this.
A device is anything that can exchange information relating to its own state with something else.
A Client Device has a structure within Clique Space which is composed of seven (very probably to-be 6) Clique Space Elements. A Client Device represents any device in Clique Space... any device at all.
An Agent Device is just a specific type of device, and therefore is expressed in Clique Space as a Client Device. An Agent Device is a device to which any device can connect (yes, including other Agent Devices) to get Access to one or more Clique Spaces. Agent Devices connect to each other so they can communicate information between themselves as members of a Clique Space, or to share information between Clique Spaces.
Agent Devices establish communications channels (which appear to me to be logically similar to synapses) by engaging each other and exchanging information about each other's Agent Device Clique Space.
I'm happy with this definition: it looks like the most concise definition to date. I'll use it.
