Abstract
In this chapter, we argue for the use of representations from category theory to support better models for complex systems, and provide an example of what such an application might look like. Our approach rests on the well-known observation that complex system design is a fundamentally recursive discipline, which is formalized in computer science using structures called algebras, coalgebras, ...
