General notes on Clojure, MASON, and ABMs

These documents don't concern the masonclj library per se, though they do provide rationales for some of the design choices assumed by masonclj. These notes might be useful for anyone interested in using MASON with Clojure, or interested in writing ABMs in Clojure. Some of the notes are about Clojure-Java interop, and might be useful to a wider audience.

NOTE: "Agent" in these documents refers to agents in the agent-based modeling sense. This sense of the term has almost nothing to do with the Clojure language agent concept.
