We show that there is significant foundational work on what could lead to a linear algebra approach to software components. Should these be weighted automata or machines in the sense of Bloom, we show that there is a constructive, fully typed approach to such matrix models. However abstract or primitive these may look to practitioners, they promise the calculation style which is the hallmark of engineering disciplines.
