Scalability is the end, compositionality is the means, category theory is the means to the means.
I am a postdoctoral researcher in the complex systems group of the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences in Leipzig, Germany. I am applying category theory to mathematical economics and artificial intelligence, with a view towards cybernetics as a unified perspective.
Other topics I am interested in include graphical calculi, constructive and linear logic, functional programming, and the semantics of natural language.
