RAMiCS in Będlewo, April 2026
The recently introduced model of representations has been defined and motivated somewhat ex- nihilo. In this talk, I will show that representations are related to a more “classical” model through a 2-adjunction. The target model is that of preorder morphisms, i.e. maps between sets equipped with reflexive and transitive relation that satisfy some natural preservation property. The aim of this is two-fold: first, this provides in my opinion a further justification of rep- resentations, as an object in non-trivial yet tight connection to some natural constructs; and secondly it suggests some classical results1 about order preserving maps could have interesting consequences for representations.
