This paper is concerned with the problem of how effective social interaction arises from individual social action and mind. The need to study the individual social mind, suggests a move towards the notion of sociological agents who can model their social environment as opposed to acting socially within it. This does not constrain such social behavior; on the contrary, we argue that it provides the requisite information and understanding for such behavior to be effective. We argue that effective social agents must be sociological in modeling agents and agent relationships. In this paper, we show how an existing agent framework leads naturally to the enumeration of a map of inter-agent relationships that can be modeled and exploited by sociological agents to enable operation that is more effective.
