This talk will describe an ongoing effort to treat agent interactions as abstract algebraic structures. The primary motivations for this attempt it are to increase code reuse, and ultimately to enable the creation of agent-based models through the filling in of forms, choosing among various module operations and chaining them together to produce customized agent behavior.
