A Categorical Integration of Quantifiers:A Higher Category Theoretic Perspective

Abstract

We propose a new framework for integrating quantifiers with other logical connectives in a higher-categorical setting. Our method systematically incorporates key coherence conditions-including those akin to the Beck-Chevalley property-and exploits the potential of 2-adjunctions and pseudo-limits. In particular, Theorem 2.1 and Lemma 3.4 establish the central results, showing how the usual view of quantifiers as adjoint functors lifts naturally into a bicategorical context, while Theorem 4.2 and Lemma 4.3 illustrate how this perspective extends to dependent type theories. By making explicit the interplay between substitution and variable binding, we resolve the limitations of conventional approaches and ensure coherence up to canonical isomorphisms. Detailed constructions, coherence diagrams, and a unified schematic overview further highlight the theoretical advantages of our approach, leading to simpler proofs and more robust model integration in categorical logic.
