Kindergarten Quantum Mechanics
TL;DR: The picture calculus as discussed by the authors is an extension of Dirac's notation and has a purely algebraic counterpart in terms of so-called Strongly Compact Closed Categories (SCCC) which subsumes my Logic of Entanglement.

The cartesian closed bicategory of generalised species of structures
TL;DR: In this paper, the concept of generalised species of structures between small categories and the operation of substitution for generalized species, which is the counterpart to the composition of generalized analytic functors, is introduced.
Journal ArticleDOI
Filter Monads, Continuous Lattices and Closure Systems
TL;DR: In this paper, the filter monad F = (F, η, 𝛍) over Sets where FX is the set of all (not necessarily proper) filters on X.

Agent-Based Modeling: The Right Mathematics for the Social Sciences?
Paul L. Borrill,Leigh Tesfatsion +1 more
TL;DR: This study provides a basic introduction to agent-based modeling (ABM) as a powerful blend of classical and constructive mathematics, with a primary focus on its applicability for social science research.
Journal ArticleDOI
On bunched typing
TL;DR: It is shown how bunch-based management of Contraction can be used to provide a more flexible type system for interference control, and is incompatible with an interpretation where a multiplicative function uses its argument once, but perfectly compatible with a reading based on sharing of resources.
