Dear Mike, You might consider the literature on normalization by evaluation<https://www.google.com/search?q=normalization+by+evaluation&oq=normalization+by+evaluation&aqs=chrome..69i57j0l5.6625j0j7&sourceid=chrome&espv=210&es_sm=119&ie=UTF-8> .

What's the right way to think about evaluation in category theory? I'm guessing it will look kind of like this: the category will be symmetric monoidal closed and equipped with an object S whose points are "source code", together with a collection of interpreter epimorphisms run_{X, Y}: S -> [X, Y] and some notion of composition in S that works well with composition of morphisms.
What are the right keywords for doing a literature search on this? -- Mike Stay - metaweta@gmail.com http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~mike http://reperiendi.wordpress.com
