I’ve wondered the same thing as i run into environmental management problems that seem to fit this model. 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 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 cyberphysical systems [63,87]–or simulation of behavior at many levels of fidelity–e.g. in modeling and simulation [88]–leading to a spectrum of models which are challenging to align. We argue that operads, formal tools developed to compose geometric and algebraic objects, are uniquely suited to separate complex systems into manageable parts and maintain alignment across complementary models” John Baez has some inspiring work in this area as well. Network Models is a good paper particularly on Network Operads https://arxiv.org/abs/1711.00037 https://arxiv.org/abs/1711.00037
