(phenomenism) but with which we can deal inferentially thanks to the

formalism and the bridging operations. This problem, in my modest

opinion, can be solved by category theory but checking whether this

formalism is able to catch something that we in principle cannot express

in categories.

S: To me, there are two aspects to the category theory — the category

as a type and categories as tokens. The category type to which all token

categories belong is what I came to call the “ur-category” that can be

diagrammatically represented as in Figure 10.9.

Figure 10.9 A diagrammatic representation of the ur-category, a category to which all

categories belong. A, B, and C are nodes or vertices (that can be satisfied or filled by any

entities, either material or formal), and f, g, and h are the structure-preserving mappings

that obey the commutative condition: f °g = h (see Figures 2.1 and 2.2).

human knowledge that may be useful for interpreting QM. f = measurement/natural pro-

cess; g = mental process; h = representation, correspondence, grounding, proof. (The

nature of the nodes and arrows suggested above are not fixed in stone but can be adjusted

to best fit your interpretation of QM, as long as the commutative condition is satisfied, i.e.,

f °g = h.)

To my naïve, non-physicist mind, the category that may be most rele-

vant to and useful for QM may be as shown in Figure 10.10:
