 Construct is a multi-agent simulation tool that is commonly used 
to investigate dynamic behavior in complex sociocultural
systems. This technical report describes the parameters necessary 
to specify agents in the simulation, focusing
especially on the features which help describe agent behavior. 
It also introduces a number of pre-defined agent classes,
stock-agents which can be used to quickly build up a simulation. 
This document is intended both as an introduction to
Construct model and as a reference guide for simulation experts 
and casual modelers.
