Hmmm,… that does seem to be a problem for me sometimes.    Didn’t you build on other people’s ideas and incorporate them in you models, and so create an inheritance connection between them?

The basis of taxonomy is the developmental sequences of the forms themselves, so in the case of ABM's it would be finding who built on whose ideas and model parts.    It's basically  a time network map of parentage and offspring, which naturally branches and cross fertilizes.   

Well, I've been designing, developing, and using ABMS for pert' near 18 years, but  I must confess that the the two sentences above conveyed absolutely no meaning to my poor, befuddled brain. 

I' serious: none.

Clearly it must be time for me to swarm over to the Carnot-Cycle device and prise open the magnetic strip- secured metallic thermal barrier and extract a fused-silicon hermetically-sealed pressure vessel containing Brettanomyces-modified Hordeum vulgare carbohydrate, hopefully tinctured with a moderate dosage of Humulus Lupulus-produced aromatic oils.

Then, once I'm done with that one, I might just go get myself another beer from the refrigerator.
