Abstract
There is something about being a women and thinking about cooking, even in spite of feminist protests. Suppose we would like “to cook a natural system”, or at least to model it as realistically as possible. What tools do we need, and what should we do? Well, we need several elements, so let us take P elements and put them on the table. Are they a system? No, they don’t do anything, and even if each of them would jump up and down on the table, they would still not be a system. We need them to relate to each other through their behavior. That is where the major differences exist between various models of multi-agent systems: Their rules of relations, or interactions between agents.
