Hello CT community, Perhaps my question is too much of an applied question. I found a Web site where they say the following: "The category theory may become the core part of the mathematical instrument for the conceptual systems development. The system can be presented as a category in which the relative correlation exists among the objects (morphisms). Each system must be presented both on generalized and concrete reflection levels. The generalized level (upper level) and each of the concrete reflection levels are categories. Hence, it should be considered the process of reflection between general and concrete levels (functors). Each objects of the category system can be a system by itself (category). Consequently we have to consider lattice dependence of categories both on the generalized level and as well as on the decomposition of the objects. Each system changes in time. So it should be considered problems related to the dynamics of categories. Complex consideration and decisions of the above-stated and other related problems should ensure the formation of the mathematical base. This will enable to consider the creation of dynamic, unified distributed databases that can be used in various applied fields." What is this trying to say?
