We develop categorical foundations of discrete dynamical systems, aimed at understanding how the structure of the system affects its dynamics. We introduce the notion of cycle sets to analyze attractors of a system, and use this to generalize multiple decomposition theorems of Kadelka, Veliz-Cuba, Murrugarra, and the last two authors from Boolean networks to arbitrary discrete dynamical systems.
