https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stable%20module%20category | In representation theory, the stable module category is a category in which projectives are "factored out."
Definition
Let R be a ring. For two modules M and N over R, define to be the set of R-linear maps from M to N modulo the relation that f ~ g if f − g factors through a projective module. The stable module cate... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celada%E2%80%93Seiden%20model | In cell biology, the Celada–Seiden model is a logical description at the inter-cellular level of the mechanisms making up the adaptive immune humoral and cellular response to a genetic antigen.
The computational counterpart of the Celada–Seiden model is the IMMSIM code.
