## Molecules: Composable Workflow Templates ## Molecules: Composable Workflow Templates (MEOW)
Molecules are **crystallized, composable, nondeterministic-idempotent workflow templates**. They encode structured workflows that any worker can execute, with full auditability and the ability for any worker to pick up where another left off. **MEOW** - **M**olecular **E**xpression **O**f **W**ork. Molecules are **crystallized,
