Hi,
Category theoretic notions such as sum and colimit can be thought of
as generalizations of the elementary arithmetic operation of adding
numbers. Given that place-value notation is the syntax (in the sense
of underlying structure or format) of addition, is there a category
theoretic account of place-value notation?
thank you,
posina
