Abstract
We present a term rewriting system that models the dynamic aspects of the free cornering with protocol choice of a monoidal category, which has been proposed as a categorical model of process interaction. This term rewriting system is confluent and terminating in an appropriate sense. We use this machinery to prove a coherence theorem for the free cornering with protocol choice.
