The Categorical Abstract Machine (CAM) is a theoretical model used primarily in the fields of programming languages and functional programming to describe the execution of programs. It provides a formal framework to reason about and implement the operational semantics of functional programming languages. Here are some key points about the Categorical Abstract Machine: 1. **Categorical Foundations**: The CAM is based on categorical concepts, particularly those from category theory. This allows for rich mathematical structures to describe computations, data types, and transformations.
