Ah, if that is to be worked out then there are a couple of threads of work
which might be useful. I don't recall if I've mentioned them to you
anywhere:

>From quantum foundations via natural language meaning to a theory of
everything
Bob Coecke
https://arxiv.org/abs/1602.07618

Bartosz Milewski
Category Theory 1.1: Motivation and Philosophy

The second appears to be the start of a lecture series on the relevance of
CT for the design of programming languages.

The first proposes specifically category theoretic formal formulations for
AI/concepts. Starting with natural language. Coecke wraps meaning up in a
kind of CT formalism, and then expects they will need quantum computing to
disambiguate it all. Fold it in using CT, fold it out using quantum
computing.

Coecke's group appears to be getting good funding around Oxford.
