      The paper fills an important gap between category theory and logic: it is shown that Eilenberg-Kelly-Mac Lane graphs of naturality conditions in closed categories are essentially the same as proof-nets in multiplicative linear logic. This allows to obtain a useful schema of coherence theorems (instead of single theorems before) and connect coherence with composability of dinatural transformations and polymorphism.
