Monoidal category(Q1945014) is a category that admits tensor products. It is an important construct that has significant applications in various fields. In particularly, Bob Coecke's work on Picturing Quantum Processes[1] and Quantum Natural Language Processing[2] make extensive use of Monoidal Category. That means it has direct application to compilation and interpretation of complex information systems, that covers almost any engineered system of practical interesting. Richard Borcherds has a video on Monoidal Category[3].
Monoidal Category as a Two Dimensional Algebra?
Daniel Tubbenhauer's VisualMath also has a video on What are…monoidal categories?[4]. At the end of the video, he stated that Monoidal Category can be used as a way to model a Two-Dimensional Algebra.
Content related to Monoidal Category:
There are a few variations of monoidal categories:
Symmetrical Monoidal Category
Braided Monoidal Category
