Commutative Strong Monads
For every strong monad T on a symmetric monoidal category, a costrength natural transformation can be defined by
- .
A strong monad T is said to be commutative when the diagram
commutes for all objects and .
One interesting fact about commutative strong monads is that they are "the same as" symmetric monoidal monads. More explicitly,
- a commutative strong monad defines a symmetric monoidal monad by
- and conversely a symmetric monoidal monad defines a commutative strong monad by
and the conversion between one and the other presentation is bijective.

Famous quotes containing the word strong:
“Reverence is the highest quality of man’s nature; and that individual, or nation, which has it slightly developed, is so far unfortunate. It is a strong spiritual instinct, and seeks to form channels for itself where none exists; thus Americans, in the dearth of other objects to worship, fall to worshipping themselves.”
—Lydia M. Child (1802–1880)
