I think http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/~schalk/notes/llmodel.pdf might be useful.
And John Baez and Matt Stay's math.ucr.edu/home/baez/rosetta.pdf (where I
found the citation for the first paper) has a fair amount about this sort of
question.

This is rather a guess on my part, but I'd wager that symmetric monoidal 
closed categories, or something close, would be to linear logic as Cartesian 
closed categories are to intuitionistic logic. There's a tensor M (x) N, and a 
unit (up to isomorphism) I of the tensor. And there's an adjunction:

  M (x) N |- O  <=> M |- N -o O

suggestively named, hopefully. There's no diagonal A |- A (x) A like there is 
for products, and I is not terminal, so no A |- I in general. Those two should 
probably take care of the no-contraction, no-weakening rules. Symmetric 
monoidal categories mean A (x) B ~= B (x) A, though, so you still get the 
exchange rule.

Obviously a lot of connectives are missing above, but I don't know the 
categorical analogues off the top of my head. Searching for 'closed monoidal' 
or 'symmetric monoidal closed' along with linear logic may be fruitful, 
though.

Insofar as "I'm curious" is allowed as a legitimate response, yes.

Hi Vasili,

not understanding clearly «in a categorical logic sense» -- but I can be 
sure you already checked out coherent spaces, which might be regarded as 
underlying Girard's original works in this sense?? I have a faint idea 
about improvements, but I don't have them present at the moment.


Curiously -- is it allowed to ask about the motivation?

Cheers, Nick

Thank you,
