I don't really know. :-) It seems very popular in computer science at the moment for the most trivial things that people seem to find mind-blowing, possibly because it puts them on a better theoretical foundation? So I feel I must be missing something. And that makes it interesting to me. I do like it as a way of talking about mappings, the isomorphisms that you mention. Other people do also seem to be applying it to interesting things - https://alpof.wordpress.com/ And then there's - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ho7oagHeqNc > I have a few recent blogs at Leonardo.info about the ML grouped under > "The Mindful Mona Lisa" and a unique "bridge" theory I am trying to sort > out.
