What is category theory to cognitive science? Compositional representation and comparison [PDF]
Category theorists and cognitive scientists study the structural (analogical) relations between domains of interest albeit in different contexts, that is, formal and psychological systems, respectively.

Category Theory In Geography? [PDF]
Is mathematical category theory a unifying tool for geography? Here we look at a few basic category theoretical ideas and interpret them in geographic example. We also offer links to indicate how category theory has been used as such in other disciplines.

A category theory perspective on the Language of Thought: LoT is universal [PDF]
The Language of Thought (LoT) hypothesis proposes that some collections of mental states and processes are symbol systems to explain language-like systematic properties of thought.

Category theory of symbolic dynamics
We study the central objects of symbolic dynamics, that is, subshifts and block maps, from the perspective of basic category theory, and present several natural categories with subshifts as objects and block maps as morphisms. Our main goals are to find universal objects in these symbolic categories, to classify their block maps based on their category

“Mathematical chemistry” as an academic field is said to have been proposed by Weyl in the 20th century as a way of thinking that abstracts and expresses “variables”, “symbols” and “functions” [...]

Category theory and organic electronics
Inorganic semiconductors and conducting polymers are described by band conduction models with delocalized electrons, whereas small-molecule organic compounds are described by hopping conduction between localized molecular orbitals.

Category Theory for Programming
In these lecture notes, we give a brief introduction to some elements of category theory. The choice of topics is guided by applications to functional programming. Firstly, we study initial algebras, which provide a mathematical characterization of datatypes and recursive functions on them. Secondly, we study monads, which give a mathematical framework

Formalizing category theory in Agda [PDF]
The generality and pervasiness of category theory in modern mathematics makes it a frequent and useful target of formalization. It is however quite challenging to formalize, for a variety of reasons. Agda currently (i.e. in 2020) does not have a standard, working formalization of category theory. We document our work on solving this dilemma.

Soft category theory -an introduction [PDF]
The soft category theory offers a way to study soft theories developed so far more generally. The main purpose of this paper is to introduce the basic notions of the theory of soft categories, to present some introductory results of the theory.
