I do not see any relation between combinatorics and agent-based
evolution systems that are so trendy in cognitive sciences,
artificial intelligence and computer science ("software agents", knobots)
nowdays ...
I used "combinatorics" in its classical, mathematical sense of, roughly,
purely symbolic combination and aggregation.
