Journey Operators for Structured Multi-Axis Composition
Quick summary
arXiv:2607.26775v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Many kinds of data have structure along one or more axes: words in a sentence, pixels in an image, nodes in a tree, frames in audio, or cells in a 3D volume. Along one axis, order matters: "the dog bit the man" is different from "the man bit the dog." Across independent axes, however, neither composition nor movement should depend on the order of axes: in an image, composing right then down should give the same result as composing down then right, and moving right then down should describe the same relative position as moving down then right.
