Higher-Dimensional Category Theory

Higher-dimensional category theory explores mathematical structures called categories, which organize objects and relationships (morphisms). While basic categories deal with objects and arrows between them, higher-dimensional categories include arrows between arrows, and even more complex layers, forming structures called n-categories. This framework captures intricate patterns in mathematics and physics, revealing deep connections and symmetries. Essentially, it's an extension of traditional category theory into multiple levels of relationships, allowing us to understand and manipulate complex systems with interconnected parts across various dimensions.
