Hi Ronnie,

a good candidate for what your 12., combined with 11., 8. and a bit of 5. might
look like is Baez and Stay's 'Rosetta stone' paper, see:
http://golem.ph.utexas.edu/category/2008/03/physics_topology_logic_and_com.html
Clearly this is only a tiny slice of the category theory cake, and perhaps again
a biased one, but at least it contains facts, and references.
Best of luck with this project, I look forward to contributing in what small way
I can.
David
