Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

An itegory is a restriction category with a Kleene wand. Cockett, D{\'ı}az-Bo{\"ı}ls, Gallagher, and Hrube{š} briefly introduced Kleene wands to capture iteration in restriction categories arising from complexity theory. The purpose of this paper is to develop in more detail the theory of Kleene wands and itegories. A Kleene wand is a binary operator which takes in two disjoint partial maps, one of type ${X \to X}$ and the other of type ${X \to A}$, and produces a partial map $X \to A$. This latter map is interpreted as iterating the endomorphism until it lands in the domain of definition of the second map. In a setting with infinite disjoint joins, there is always a canonical Kleene wand realizing this intuition. The standard categorical interpretation of iteration is via trace operators on coproducts. For extensive restriction categories, we explain in detail how having a Kleene wand is equivalent to this standard interpretation of iteration. This suggests that Kleene wands can be used to replace parametrized iteration and traces in restriction categories which lack coproducts. Further evidence of this is exhibited by providing a matrix construction which embeds an itegory into a traced extensive restriction category. We also consider Kleene wands in classical restriction categories and show how, in this case, a Kleene wand is completely determined by its endomorphism component.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
