About
CatColab is an advanced modeling platform developed by the Topos Institute, designed for community-driven model building using applied category theory. By leveraging Automerge CRDTs for real-time collaboration and a high-performance Rust engine for model validation, it allows researchers and engineers to collaboratively construct double theories (DOTS), stock and flow diagrams, and complex system simulations. It bridges the gap between conceptual categorical diagrams and executable simulations like ODEs, providing a unified framework for interoperable, formal modeling across diverse domains including public health, logistics, and mechanism design.
