This wouldn't happen to involve evolutionary pressures altering rules, would it?

Hi,
I'm interested in developing (if it doesn't already
exist) and then using a framework for agent-based modeling
in which the agents are rule driven. An important feature is
that the agents and their rules must be dyanically
manipulable. That is, both the agents and the rules must be
first class objects that can be manipulated as the system is
running. Can Drools support that?
As someone not familiar with Drools I did my best to find
out by looking at the Drools
Expert User's Manual. From what I could tell, the Template
feature in which one uses Java objects as Template data
sources comes close. I'd like your advice before
putting too much development effort into attempting to use
it for that purpose.
In particular, would it be possible to set up a mechanism
that could: create and delete agents on the fly; associate
rule sets with agents on the fly; and modify the rules
associated with an agent on the fly? After each such
action the system would change to reflect the change in
agents and rules.
Thanks for your help.

P.S. If Drools would not be a good choice, is there some
other system that you could recommend?
