This paper presents a development of the so-called kinetic theory for active particles to the modeling of living, hence complex, systems localized in networks. The overall system is viewed as a network of interacting nodes, mathematical equations are required to describe the dynamics in each node and in the whole network. These interactions, which are nonlinearly additive, are modeled by evolutive stochastic games. The first conceptual part derives a general mathematical structure, to be regarded as a candidate towards the derivation of models, suitable to capture the main features of the said systems. An application on opinion formation follows to show how the theory can generate specific models.
