A taxonomy of generic agent models

In essence, a generic society is simply a dictionary of GenericModel objects. You can manipulate the society through the following operations:

0. Creating a new society:
   • society = GenericSociety()
1. Insert/overwrite a generic model:
   • society.addMember(model)
2. Get a generic model by name
   • model = society[name]
3. Get a list of model objects:
   • society.members()
4. Get a list of names of leaf nodes
   • society.leaves()
5. Get a list of leaf node model objects
   • society.leafModels()
6. Delete a generic model
   • del society[model.name]
7. Get a list of model names:
   • society.keys()
8. Get a list of (name,model) tuples
   • society.items()
9. Create an instantiated agent model of a particular class
   • entity = society.instantiate(className,instanceName)
