Despite the increasing use of standards for documenting and testing agent-based models (ABMs) sharing open access code, most ABMs are still developed from scratch. This is not only inefficient, but also leads to ad hoc often inconsistent implementations same theories in computational code delays progress exploration functioning complex social-ecological systems (SES). We argue that reusable building blocks (RBBs) known professional software development can mitigate these issues. An RBB a submodel represents particular mechanism or process relevant across many an application domain, such as plant competition vegetation models, reinforcement learning behavioural model. RBBs need be distinguished modules, which represent entire subsystems include more than one process. While linking modules faces challenges integrating different general, "atomic" enough easily re-used contexts. describe provide examples domains how why used development, benefits doing so ABM community individual modellers. propose template guide publication example this template. Most importantly, we initiate strategy community-based RBBs. Individual modellers have much greater impact their field with single paper, while will benefit increased coherence, facilitating theory both behaviour agents they form. invite peers upload share via our website - preferably referenced by DOI (digital object identifier obtained e.g. Zenodo).

The Virtual Special Issue "Agents for Theory" discusses theory development using agent-based models (ABMs). six contributions focus on how the word "theory" is used in ABM literature, reviews of ABMs should be conducted to gain general insights, even conceptualisation can help transform heuristic theories into scientific ones, context-dependent choice decision better justified, reusable building blocks (RBBs) could support development, and a modular framework RBBs identify solutions. Overall, making that go system dynamics come out are interrelated, so micro-macro perspective attempt reproduce patterns at both levels simultaneously way forward. Theory requires clearer communication common language, reference patterns, more detailed model analysis testing.
