# Summary
Mesa is an open-source Python framework for agent-based modeling (ABM) that enables researchers to create, analyze, and visualize agent-based simulations. Mesa provides a comprehensive set of tools and abstractions for modeling complex systems, with capabilities spanning from basic agent management to sophisticated representation of spaces within which agents interact. First introduced in 2014 [@masad2015], with updates published in [@kazil2020], this paper presents Mesa in its current version (3.1.1) as of late 2024.

# Statement of need
Agent-based models (ABMs), or artificial societies, are composed of autonomous heterogeneous agents interacting locally with other agents. These interactions give rise to emergent phenomena. The aggregate dynamics of a system under study emerge from these local interactions [@epstein_axtell_1996] [@epstein1999]. This type of modeling quickly grew more sophisticated, requiring frameworks to execute them. This led to the establishment of [NetLogo](https://ccl.northwestern.edu/netlogo/) and [MASON](https://cs.gmu.edu/~eclab/projects/mason/).
