Why does Abramsky use category theory?
I employ category theory because it offers a universal language for describing structure and transformation, which are fundamental to computation and logic. By abstracting away from the specific details of a problem, we can uncover deep analogies and transfer knowledge between seemingly disparate fields. For instance, insights from database theory can illuminate aspects of quantum information, and vice versa. Category theory provides the tools to formalize these connections and build robust, general theories.
