+
+Action compositions make it possible to dynamically build and invoke a series
of actions. Action compositions are similar to sequences. However, whereas the
components of a sequence must be specified before invoking the sequence,
components of a composition can be decided as the composition is running.

+

+
+```
+$ cat > increment.js
+function main({ value }) { return { value: value + 1 } }

+```
+
+We can use this _increment_ action in a composition as follows:
