## 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.

Gas Town is a **work composition and execution engine**. This document describes
the chemical algebra for expressing, instantiating, and executing work at any
scale - from single tasks to massive polymers that can grind through weekends
of autonomous operation.

## Overview
This document defines the **Molecule Algebra** - a declarative language for
composing, transforming, and executing structured work. The algebra enables
mechanical composition of workflows without AI, reserving cognition for
leaf-node execution only.
