  The Possibility of Minimal Units in the Filmic Image by Sophie De Grauwe
Categories and definitions have vague boundaries, which ensures their flexibility, and they are structured by salient central elements (elements which have a lot of weight in the definition or category) and weak peripheral elements (elements which are marginal in the definition or category).
The modality of an image is determined on the basis of several modality markers, like colour saturation, contextualization (the degree of presence or absence of background), camera mobility, etc. The "truth" which is presented in images is not absolute, it is the truth of a social group.
For example, the interpretation of an image in which a character points a gun at another character as being an instance of the syntagmatic combination (Actor-process-Goal) is only possible through the association of the characters and the process (and the relation between them) with similar characters and processes and the relations between these.

 Image (category theory) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
in C, the image of f is a monomorphism
The image of f is often denoted by im f or Im(f).
In many concrete categories such as groups, abelian groups and (left- or right) modules, the image of a morphism is the image of the correspondent morphism in the category of sets.

 Como Category Theory News
Part of the perception that category theory is "foundations" (in the pejorative sense of being remote from applications and development) is due to a preoccupation with huge size.
The category S is itself cartesian closed, and the categories of structures of geometry and analysis are enriched in it.
While the Fregean image involves rigid inclusion and elementhood relations imagined to be given once and for all for mathematics as a whole, the usual mathematical practice instead considers inclusion and membership relations for subsets of a given universe of discourse (such as R^3).

 Category Theory (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy/Winter 2002 Edition)
Category theory is a general mathematical theory of structures and sytems of structures.
Category theory reveals that many of these constructions are in fact special cases of objects in a category with what is called a "universal property".
Given these simple facts, it remains to be seen whether category theory should be "on the same plane", so to speak, with set theory, whether it should be considered seriously as providing a foundational alternative to set theory or whether it is foundational in a different sense altogether.

 Category Theory (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
Category theory is both an interesting object of philosophical study, and a potentially powerful formal tool for philosophical investigations of concepts such as space, system, and even truth.
Category theory is, in this sense, the legitimate heir of the Dedekind-Hilbert-Noether-Bourbaki tradition, with its emphasis on the axiomatic method and algebraic structures.
From the foregoing disussion, it should be obvious that category theory and categorical logic ought to have an impact on almost all issues arising in philosophy of logic: from the nature of identity criteria to the question of alternative logics, category theory always sheds a new light on these topics.

 Springer Online Reference Works
Not every category is concrete; for example, the category with as objects all topological spaces and whose morphisms are defined to be homotopy classes of continuous mappings [10].
It follows from the definition that each object in a category has a unique identity morphism; thus it is possible to identify objects with their identity morphisms, leading to an axiomatization of categories in which  "morphism" ; and  "composite"  are the only primitive notions (see [9]).
In these areas of category theory coherence theorems play an important part: these are theorems which allow one to deduce the commutativity of a large class of diagrams from that of certain particular diagrams (see [a19], for example).

 The Reference Frame: Category theory and physics
String theory is first of all a physical theory, and it should be studied because of physical motivations - the primary physical motivation is to locate the right ideas and equations that describe the real world.
Category theory has been used by many to achieve completely wrong physical conclusions - for example, by considering the "pompously foolish" quantization functor, many people have claimed that everything that happens in a classical theory has a counterpart in the "corresponding" quantum theory.
Category theory often resembles linguistics (or even postmodern literary criticism): it is a science about arrows between different objects and about creating new objects from these arrows, but it does not really care too much whether the objects exist and what are their real properties.

Both definitions are considered and problematized from a theoretical and a practical point of view and a compromise is proposed in which their inextricable nature is underlined.
For narratologists then, medium as a category is significant to the extent that the choice of a certain medium, e.g.
It is an attempt to construct a medium theory that remains true to George Spencer-Brown’s logical calculus on the one hand, and that gives full “credit” to Niklas Luhmann’s considerations on the medium/form distinction on the other hand.

A category is something just as abstract as a set, but a bit more structured.
This is true, not only because Russell's paradox tends to ruin attempts at a consistent theory of the "thing of all things", but because, just as what really counts is the category of all sets, what really counts is the 2-category of all categories.
So the category of all sets is "one-dimensional": it has both objects or "dots" and morphisms or "arrows between dots".
