The Mathematics of Links

To learn more about Hyperlinks, one may refer to Category Theory, which provides an arrow chasing reasoning mechanism to perform rigorous manipulation of links.

A concrete example about linguistic sentence parsing in Category Theory can be seen here:

Hyperlinks as Sheaves

To think of hyperlink as a kind of computable data structure, the best approximation can be thought of as sheaves.

The following video provides an interesting explanation of how to enumerate hyperlinks as binary products.
