Caesuras in causal loop diagrams #119

Open KevinDCarlson opened 3 weeks ago

KevinDCarlson commented 3 weeks ago

It seems common to include delay effects in causal loops diagrams by crossing an arrow like so: ----//----> . That could be a nice feature to add.

"Caesura," a surprisingly accurate word in this context!

Anyway, nice idea. Thinking about the double theory, I suppose that the composing an arrow with a delay with another arrow (delayed or not) should give an arrow with a delay.

Yeah, I was like "wait, that looks like...." and then that's what it is! Agreed, I guess it's an absorbing element in the monoid of arrow flavors and there should be a delayed negative one too.
