Abstract

It is proposed to consider any uniform class of information transforming systems as morphisms of a certain category -a category of information transformers (ITs). Composition of ITs corresponds to their consecutive application. The paper introduces an axiomatics for a category of ITs as a monoidal category that contains a subcategory (of deterministic ITs) with finite products and satisfies a certain set of axioms. Besides, it shows that many IT-categories can be constructed as Kleisli categories.
