This Prolog programme describes the macro and micro levels of institutions. It works with action
types and uses a basic notion of exercise of power on the micro and macro
level. The main example was a publishing company. The programme
was written by J. Tazarki.

This program works on the mirco level of action-types. Some basic types
of actions are dynamically changed by a genetic algorithm.

Three kinds of utilities are distinguished for each actor. Each actor
can produce, protect and predate ('PPP') commodities
in variable quantities. Through a game theoretic equation an actor will
execute just one of the three kinds of actions in one period.
