We show that our semantics yields a categorical model of Linear Logic and prove {\em full completeness} for Multiplicative Linear Logic with the MIX rule: every winning strategy is the denotation of a unique cut-free proof net. A key role is played by the notion of {\em history-free} strategy; strong connections are made between history-free strategies and the Geometry of Interaction. Our semantics incorporates a natural notion of polarity, leading to a refined treatment of the additives. We make comparisons with related work by Joyal, Blass {\it et al}. \end{abstract} \end{document} ==============================================================================
