Category Theory

Fundamental mathematical tool; poset-as-category provides simple instances of categorical notions like products and adjunctions.

Partially Ordered Set (Poset)
cites
Fundamental structure: a set with a reflexive, antisymmetric, transitive relation.
Linear Transformations (a :( b)

Terminal Object
associated_with
Category-theoretic analogue of ātman; its non-existence in the phenomenal category elucidates non-self.
Yoneda Lemma
associated_with
Category-theoretic theorem showing an object is fully determined by its relational profile; mathematical echo of dependent origination.

cosine ≥ 0.65 · no typed edge

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.
