read the original abstract
This short introductory category theory textbook is for readers with relatively little mathematical background (e.g. the first half of an undergraduate mathematics degree). At its heart is the concept of a universal property, important throughout mathematics. After a chapter introducing the basic definitions, separate chapters present three ways of expressing universal properties: via adjoint functors, representable functors, and limits. A final chapter ties the three together. For each new categorical concept, a generous supply of examples is provided, taken from different parts of mathematics. At points where the leap in abstraction is particularly great (such as the Yoneda lemma), the reader will find careful and extensive explanations.

On a new theory of models for formal mathematical systems
Isomorphism and homomorphism are defined for a new, syntax-general model theory; in the classical first-order case they reduce to the usual notions.

Discrete Boltzmann distributions via multisets and their coefficients
Exact discrete Boltzmann distributions arise from counting multisets of K particles with fixed total energy, with simple coefficient formulas when the number of energy levels exceeds the total energy.

Technical Evaluation of a Disruptive Approach in Homomorphic AI
A self-evaluation by the scheme's co-designer of a black-box 'homomorphic AI' hash reports perfect clustering on one dataset but degraded off-the-shelf accuracy on Fashion-MNIST, improved only after custom post-hoc tuning.
