Posets => order
Monoidal posets => order + combining
In diagrams in chapter 2 (e.g. baking meringue lemon pie) functions are boxes and connections are objects - usually (e.g. in category of types, petri nets) it is the other way around. Is it useful to model programs that way? How?
enriched categories allow to answer different questions:
Boolean-enriched category - Can I make what I want from what I have
Cost-enriched category - How much it will costs?
Set-enriched category - How many ways?
def. monoidal set (usually people just say monoid but it is useful to have a different name).
We can have monoidal structure in different xs:
Monoidal set = set + function + axioms
Monoidal poset = poset + monotone function + axioms
Monoidal Lie groups,
Monoidal topological spaces,
...
wiring diagrams/string diagrams flavors:
string diagrams for categories - sequential computation
string diagrams for monoidal cats. - parallel computation
string diagrams for traced m. cats. - feedback, trace, (recursion ?)
string diagrams for hypergraphs - relations? (systems composable from subsystems ?)
In resource theories there are:
discard axiom: forall a. a <= 1
copy axiom: forall a. a <= a*a
Do we have such a thing in programming?
