Unified Functorial Signal Representation II: Category action, Base Hierarchy, Geometries as Base structured categories
Abstract
In this paper we propose and study few applications of the base structured categories , , and . First we show classic transformation groupoid simply being a base-structured category . Then using permutation action on a finite set, we introduce the notion of a hierarchy of base structured categories that models local and global structures as a special case of composite Grothendieck fibration. Further utilizing the existing notion of transformation double category , we demonstrate that a hierarchy of bases naturally leads one from 2-groups to n-category theory. Finally we prove that every classic Klein geometry is the Grothendieck completion () of . This is generalized to propose a set-theoretic definition of a groupoid geometry (originally conceived by Ehresmann through transport and later by Leyton using transfer) with a principal groupoid and geometry space ; which is essentially same as or precisely the completion of .

1.Notations revised to reflect the difference in abstract and concrete category actions. 2.Both Category and set-theoretic versions of the definition of groupoid geometries made explicit
