Abstract
This paper presents a technique called generic composition to provide a uniform basis for modal operators, sequential composition, di#erent kinds of parallel compositions and various healthiness conditions appearing in a variety of semantic theories. The weak inverse of generic composition is defined. A completeness theorem shows that any predicate can be written in terms of generic composition and its weak inverse. A number of algebraic laws that support reasoning are derived.
