- This paper develops a categorical framework for reasoning about causation in a wide variety of settings, ranging from classical to quantum with definite and indefinite causal structures. It is based on a conference version in LICS 2018, which formed part of a 10-week summer school program called the Adjoint School, connected to the first conference in Applied Category Theory at the Lorentz Centre in Leiden. It was featured in a blog post on the n-Category Cafe (https://golem.ph.utexas.edu/category/2018/01/a_categorical_semantics_for_ca.html), a popular outlet for category theory discussions in the internet.
