This article develops a unifying framework for relating formal theories across logic and computation by combining categorical semantics with order-theoretic structure. We organize proof systems and models through polarity (Galois connections/adjunctions) and residuation, and study the role of lax/oplax morphisms in transporting theorems between theories. On the operational side, we analyze rewriting—highlighting local confluence, Church–Rosser properties, and critical-pair criteria—while connecting these to algebraic/quantitative semantics via residuated structures. The paper also explores completeness and soundness across ω-algebraic (omega-algebraic) domains and other dcpo-based models, and sketches a path-style semantics for reachability/derivation with thresholded values. For first-time readers, the included “Order & Polarity Card” acts as a compact guide that maps common orders, polarities, and their proof-theoretic rules (intro/elim), helping navigate between categorical viewpoints (adjunctions, monoidal closure, enrichment) and concrete rewriting or proof search. Overall, the work aims to make “relativity of theories” precise: when and how results, constructions, and normalisation arguments in one setting can be transferred to another through structured translations that respect order, polarity, and residuation.
