Old - Compositional dependencies with duoidals

Last updated Feb 3, 2024
The operations of a posetal duoidal structure can be interpreted as talking about dependencies. Let $(⊗,I)$ and $(◁,N)$ form a duoidal structure. We read
$X ⊗ Y$ as “$X$ and $Y$ happen independently, without communication”;
$X ◁ Y$ as “$X$ happens before $Y$, communicating with it”;
$I$ as “interrupted communication”; and
$N$ as “no-op, doing nothing”;
$X → Y$ as “protocol $X$ is a subset of protocol $Y$” or “$X$ is simpler than $Y$”.
In this interpretation, the rules of a duoidal category say that
The protocol that disallows intermediate communication is simpler than the protocol that allows intermediate communication, $(X ◁ Y) ⊗ (Z ◁ W) → (X ⊗ Z) ◁ (Y ⊗ W)$.
The protocol that interrupts communication once is simpler than the one that interrupts twice, $I → I ◁ I$.
The protocol that has uses two parallel channels to do nothing is simpler than the one that must use just one, $N ⊗ N → N$.
Interrupting communication is simpler than doing nothing, $I → N$.
Proposition. The endomorphisms of an adjoint monoid form a duoidal structure with composition and convolution.
