Categorical Cybernetics: A Framework for Computational Dialectics

Abstract

At the intersection of category theory, cybernetics, and dialectical reasoning lies a profound framework for understanding computation and control. This paper examines how categorical structures—particularly adjoint functors and fixed points—illuminate the nature of feedback and control in both mathematical and philosophical contexts. Through an analysis of Lawvere’s fixed point theorem, Bayesian Open Games, and modern approaches to categorical cybernetics, we develop a unified perspective that bridges computation, control, and dialectical reasoning. We demonstrate the practical implications of this theoretical framework through a compiler pipeline that targets modern GPU architectures.
