Abstract
Templates, patterns, and blueprints are constructs that humans use regularly to perform different activities. Quality of such processes as reasoning, speaking, running, and driving depends on people\´s abilities to "process" different constructs. Recently, all these constructs have been named protoforms. A very interesting and important task is to find mechanisms that will be able to organize and control protoforms. They would provide methods of defining properties of protoforms, describing their interactions, and controlling ways how they can merge. The paper describes a concept of applying category theory to describe protoforms in a more formal way, and to look at their interactions and methods of combination
