Abstract
The powers of the adjacency matrix over the integers of a net or diagraph determine the number of walks of a given length between two vertices. If the ring of integers is replaced by suitable algebraic structures, a great deal more may be determined. In this paper such structures are given for which the individual paths and walks may be determined.
