Clock systems for stochastic and non-deterministic categorical systems theories

Owen Lynch, David Jaz Myers, Eigil Fjeldgren Rischel +1

One of the characteristic features of categorical systems theory is that the behavior of systems can be characterized by certain morphisms into them. In other words, behaviors form…

Organizing Physics with Open Energy-Driven Systems

Matteo Capucci, Owen Lynch, David I. Spivak

Organizing physics has been a long-standing preoccupation of applied category theory, going back at least to Lawvere. We contribute to this research thread by noticing that Hamilto…

Directories: A Convenient and Well-Behaved Formalism for Hierarchical Organization in Categorical Systems Theory

Owen Lynch, Markus Lohmayer

This paper introduces an inherently strict presentation of categories with products, coproducts, or symmetric monoidal products that is inspired by file systems and directories. Ra…

Exergetic Port-Hamiltonian Systems Modeling Language

Markus Lohmayer, Owen Lynch, Sigrid Leyendecker

Mathematical modeling of real-world physical systems requires the consistent combination of a multitude of physical laws and phenomenological models. This challenging task can be g…

GATlab: Modeling and Programming with Generalized Algebraic Theories

Owen Lynch, Kris Brown, James Fairbanks +1

Categories and categorical structures are increasingly recognized as useful abstractions for modeling in science and engineering. To uniformly implement category-theoretic mathemat…
