Diagonalization/ dupe for monads and tuples?

Out of curiosity what have been your uses for symmetric monoidal categories?


Few things I’d like to remark upon :
1) in many models that are monoidal braided categories , Eg full linear
logic, there’s at least two sum types and two product types.

2) in my own experience in that setting, at least for modelling
authorization, I wind up wanting dup to take an evidence argument, which
leads to duplicate With proof being in its own class and the proof term
being an associated type / fun dep wrt the thing we duplicate.

  Eg dup:: DupProof a p => a-> p-> (a,a)
(And in fact something like this is needed to enable njce desugaring for
pattern matching guard computations for stuff like linear Haskell I think.

3) the in practice dual for duplicate with evidence seems to be more like
 use :: UseProof a p => (a,p) -> (), at least in general and ignoring a
bunch of nuances that can lead to different choices in signatures
