Idea

A quantale is an analogue of a noncommutative ring and a noncommutative generalization of a locale; it is a semigroup in the monoidal category of sup-lattices; therefore, for a quantale QQ, a left QQ-module should be a sup-lattice MM together with an action QMMQ\otimes M\to M satisfying the usual axioms. In the special case when the quantale is unital and commutative and hence a locale, such a module is called a “localic module”, or module over a locale. The multiobject generalization is called a quantaloid module.
