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 Cocecke's work on Picturing Quantum Processes and Quantum Natural Language Processing 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 Berchard has a video on Monoidal Category^[1]:

There are a few variations of monoidal categories:

Symmetrical Monoidal Category
