Physics, Topology, Logic and Computation: A Rosetta Stoneby John C. Baez, Mike Stay - arXiv
There is extensive network of analogies between physics, topology, logic and computation. In this paper we make these analogies precise using the concept of 'closed symmetric monoidal category'. We assume no prior knowledge of category theory.
