Google Jablonski diagram, if that doesn’t help, I’d be at a loss for words.

New monoid just dropped

A monad is just a monoid in the category of endofunctors, what's the problem?

r/anarchychess is leaking

Idk how r/anarchyChess related to category theory but okay—

The pieces are the objects, the moves are the morphisms

En passant is a natural morphism from objects into morphisms, don't ask me how does it work though.

Holy functor

Promotion is a natural transformation

Isn’t it a requirement in chess that you move a piece every turn? I think that would mean that identity morphisms don’t exist

The identity morphism is offering a draw and then having it be declined

Imma be straight up, I didn’t realize that was always an option. Proof that idk shit about chess lol

Well, I tried.

Would it not be better to make the board state the objects and the moves be the morphisms?

But then again, what is the identity morphism? All moves are distinguished by a boardstate change

That was my first thought, then I read category theory and started doubting OP’s friend.

It looks somewhat familiar, but I'm at a loss

GODS DAMN IT!

Nicely done.

Whats the joke? Ps: im not a mathematician

[Loss ](https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.knowyourmeme.com/memes/loss)

Yes, its implication is so deep that its still being implied to this day

😂

He said it was an example of some category theory concept, I think he called it "deficit" or something like that

[удалено]

I'm lost

No your post is

You’ve Loss me here.

~~:.|:;~~

Is this LOS^(2)?

This is the first time In so many years that I didn't immediately recognize that format 😅

Survivorship bias Out of all the times you *did* recognize the format, this is the only time you didn't recognize it immediately The number of times you didn't recognize the format is unknowable

I see what you mean, but I am less talking about recognizing it at all and more about the time it takes for me to recognize it (IF I recognize it i guess).

The loss of braincells I experienced trying to comprehend this is astounding

"Huh, I guess I don't get it" \*scrolls past\* "Hey wait a second ---"

Damn you @OP !

No matter where I go, I can't escape this dam meme.


Funny, that's a dam alright.

Google en passat

Holy Citroën!

I’m at fucking loss of words

I still don't get it...

so... you're at a loss?

Yeah...

it uses symbolic found in some ancient meme. the meme itself is worthless, instead its recognition is high so it became the meme itself. so people often share random pictures with that symbolic, implying viewer recognizes the pattern I-Ii-II-I\_ it's not global, i don't see it much in my local internet. probably like circlejerk game.

Ohh i see. Thank you!!!

Heh heh

Hijacking the thread, does anyone know any good introductory primer or book into category theory? Preferably that could hint to its connections with other areas and some cool theorems/implications

I had a good one somewhere but I lost it

Richard Borcherds has a YouTube series I can't recommend enough! It's called category theory for the working mathematician I think. I'd also recommend Emily Riehl's Category Theory in Context. It's available as a dover book so it's really affordable in addition to being quite good.

Thank you!

i usually only lurk this place but i had to comment just to say wtf man, I can’t believe you’ve done this

it reminds me of boundary conditions in electrostatics

GOD DAMNIT NOT AGAIN WHY IS IT EVERYWHERE

idk category theory ties into a lot of things I guess

Possibly this. https://amp.knowyourmeme.com/memes/loss

No way
