The original idea of proof nets can be formulated by means of interaction
nets syntax. Additional machinery as switching, jumps and graph connectivity is
needed in order to ensure correspondence between a proof structure and a
correct proof in sequent calculus.
In this paper we give an interpretation of proof nets in the syntax of string
diagrams. Even though we lose standard proof equivalence, our construction
allows to define a framework where soundness and well-typeness of a diagram can
be verified in linear time.Comment: In Proceedings LINEARITY 2016, arXiv:1701.0452
