 There should be a free monoid monad T on M-category, and then "freyd
 multicategories" should be T-multicategories.
+What does this free monoid look like?
+
+Let's spell this structure out and then see how to simplify.
+A freyd multicategory consists of
+
+1. An underlying M-category of "unary" pure and effectful morphisms
+   C0.
+2. A T-module of multi-arrows, i.e. a module C1 : T(C0) <-/- C0. This
+   consists of
+   - For every list Γ ∈ C0* and output type A ∈ C0, a set of pure
+     morphisms C1ᵥ(Γ;A) and effectful morphisms C1ₜ(Γ;A) and an
+     injective function i : C1ᵥ(Γ;A) -> C1ₜ(Γ;A)
+   - For every object A, a pure identity arrow id(A) : C1áµ¥(A;A)
+   - TODO: the rest
 
 These have a set C0 of objects, for every list of objects G and object
 A a set of loose morphisms C_l(G;A) with a specified subset of tight
