We give an explicit construction of the generating set of a colored operad that implements theta theory in the mathematical model of Minimalism in generative linguistics, in the form of a coloring algorithm for syntactic objects. We show that the coproduct operation on workspaces allows for a recursive implementation of the theta criterion. We also show that this filtering by coloring rules on structures freely formed by Merge is equivalent to a process of structure formation by a colored version of Merge: the form of the generators of the colored operad then implies the dichotomy is semantics between External and Internal Merge, where Internal Merge only moves to non-theta positions.

Hypermagmas and Colored Operads: Heads, Phases, and Theta Roles
The paper shows that syntactic heads, phases, and constraints like EPP and PIC can be expressed as a colored operad bud generating system, equivalent to a colored Merge filtering process.

The Algebraic Structure of Morphosyntax
A formal model represents morphological feature bundles as trees and morphosyntactic structures as operadic insertions, reducing Distributed Morphology operations to fusion, fission, and a coproduct.

A Lie-algebraic perspective on Tree-Adjoining Grammars
The adjoining operation of tree-adjoining grammars is shown to satisfy the pre-Lie (Vinberg) identity, inducing a Lie algebra, with a half-edge graph model that encodes null-adjoining constraints and feature-TAG.
