= Higher category theory
{wiki=Higher_category_theory}
Higher category theory is an advanced area of mathematics that generalizes the concepts of category theory by enriching the structure of categories to include "higher" morphisms. In basic category theory, you have objects and morphisms (arrows) between those objects. Higher category theory extends this by allowing for morphisms between morphisms, known as 2-morphisms, and even higher levels of morphisms, creating a hierarchy of structures.
