Give the applications of Cat
in life science, physics, computer
science, the following _natural_
interpretation suggests itself:
the logic of (in general, dynamic)
wholes and parts, in contrast to
SET as the logic of unit-like objects
and collections of unit-like objects
(which collections are themselves are
unit-like and also are such that the
question How many? has a definite answwr
for them(the collections)).
Read: A f-arrow B as "A
is an f-part of B".
