The axiomatization conjecture for extended directories

Let K0K_0 be the coefficient field, and let D=(D0,D1,D2,)D_\bullet=(D_0,D_1,D_2,\ldots) be a structure with a poset structure on each DiD_i. For every m×nm\times n matrix μ\mu over K0K_0, suppose there are connecting maps

μ:DmDn,μ:DnDm.\mu^*:D_m\to D_n,\qquad \mu_*:D_n\to D_m.

Assume that each DnD_n is a bounded modular lattice, D0D_0 is the trivial one-element modular lattice, the maps are order-preserving and functorial in μ\mu, with

(μν)=μν,(μν)=νμ,(In)=idDn,(In)=idDn,(\mu\cdot\nu)^*=\mu^*\circ\nu^*,\qquad (\mu\cdot\nu)_*=\nu_*\circ\mu_*,\qquad (I_n)^*=\operatorname{id}_{D_n},\qquad (I_n)_*=\operatorname{id}_{D_n},

and that they satisfy the Galois connection

μ(x)y    xμ(y).\mu_*(x)\le y\iff x\le\mu^*(y).

Axiomatization conjecture for extended directories. Then DD is an extended directory: there is an object AA in a K0K_0-linear abelian category such that

DDir+(A).D\cong\operatorname{Dir}^+(A).

This proposed axiomatization would characterize extended directories by lattice-theoretic, functorial, and Galois-connection axioms. The supplied text presents it as a candidate axiomatization and gives no resolution.
