glosses: A category that is induced by a multidigraph thus: it has as its objects the vertices of the multidigraph and its morphisms are paths in the multidigraph; composition of morphisms is concatenation of paths, as long as the end of one path coincides with the beginning of the other path; an identity morphism of an object is an “empty path” at that vertex.
