In this post, we lay out a vision and challenge for using category theory to build tools for understanding systems at a global scope.
Towards a Research Program on Compositional World-Modeling – Topos Institute 1 The problem In scientific applications (biology, ecology, epidemiology, chemistry, physics, economics, etc.) and related engineering domains, full modeling of a complex system frequently involves the following considerations: Multi-disciplinarity . Problems may show up in a certain domain that cannot be solved with the customary mathematical tools and software frameworks of that domain, and the mathematical, scientific, technical, and cultural assumptions of another scientific domain may be illegible from the perspe
