Tape Diagrams for Monoidal Monads

Abstract

Tape diagrams provide a graphical representation for arrows of rig categories, namely categories equipped with two monoidal structures, $\oplus$ and $\otimes$, where $\otimes$ distributes over $\oplus$. However, their applicability is limited to categories where $\oplus$ is a biproduct, i.e., both a categorical product and a coproduct. In this work, we extend tape diagrams to deal with Kleisli categories of symmetric monoidal monads, presented by algebraic theories.
