The Produoidal Algebra of Process Decomposition

Authors: Matt Earnshaw, James Hefford, and Mario Román

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 288, 32nd EACSL Annual Conference on Computer Science Logic (CSL 2024)


Abstract
We characterize a universal normal produoidal category of monoidal contexts over an arbitrary monoidal category. In the same sense that a monoidal morphism represents a process, a monoidal context represents an incomplete process: a piece of a decomposition, possibly containing missing parts. In particular, symmetric monoidal contexts coincide with monoidal lenses and endow them with a novel universal property. We apply this algebraic structure to the analysis of multi-party protocols in arbitrary theories of processes.
