What is categorical semantics?
Categorical semantics provides a powerful framework for understanding the meaning of computational systems. It views computation as a process of transforming structured objects. We use categories, which consist of objects and the arrows (morphisms) between them, to model these structures and transformations. This allows us to capture essential properties of systems in an abstract, compositional way. It's about identifying the 'essence' of a computation or a logical system through its structural relationships, rather than its specific implementation.
