Layered Monoidal Theories II: Fibrational Semantics
arXiv:2602.22373
Abstract
Layered monoidal theories provide a categorical framework for studying scientific theories at different levels of abstraction, via string diagrammatic algebra. We introduce models for three closely related classes of layered monoidal theories: fibrational, opfibrational and deflational theories. We prove soundness and completeness of these theories for the respective models. Our work reveals connections between layered monoidal theories and well-known categorical structures such as Grothendieck fibrations and displayed categories.
