Work being done with Network Operads, and process calculus is applicable to this line of thought. This is an accessible paper on the general concepts: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2101.11115.pdf Abstract: “We solve complex problems by separating them into manageable parts [2,86]. Human designers do this intuitively, but details can quickly overwhelm intuition. Multiple aspects of a problem may lead to distinct decompositions and complementary models of a system– e.g. competing considerations for…</p><p><a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/2101.11115/">Paper and discussion history</a>.
