Metamorphism edit

So, as the article is currently written the definition of a hylomorphism is self-dual... it doesn't make sense to say that a "metamorphism" is the dual concept. The definition given for a metamorphism IS NOT dual to the definition given for a hylomorphism; think about it.--128.208.1.234 (talk) 18:12, 15 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Can you clarify, or improve the article yourself? It seems okay to me: Dual (category theory) claims that the dual can be formed by switching domains and codomains and reversing compositions. Do this with a hylomorphism, and you get a metamorphism. No? Angus Lepper(T, C, D) 21:18, 15 July 2008 (UTC)Reply
The concept of a hylomorphism is self-dual because duality reverses the order of composition. Since the article is wrong, I think I'll fix it. 204.102.227.207 (talk) 18:02, 17 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

It's no wonder that no one actually uses these languages. Maybe you can complicate the issue some more, try introducing Faserbündel and Kohomologie. --88.74.143.39 (talk) 11:00, 12 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

It's hard to believe there's a name for something like this. What's the "usefulness" tipping point between categorizing algorithms and coding them? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kp1197 (talkcontribs) 21:59, 2 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

Why is this article high-jacking Metamorphism(Computer Science)? Metamorphism has a number of meanings within computer sciences and is not strictly or wholly related to the content of this article. What about metamorphic code generation that is classed as being metamorphic, It has nothing to do with Hylomorphism at all. The redirect to this article is unneeded and unhelpful in the whole 77.101.167.123 (talk) 17:32, 19 July 2016 (UTC)Random reader noteReply
