We demonstrate an isomorphism between the homology of the strand algebra of
bordered Floer homology, and the category algebra of the contact category
introduced by Honda. This isomorphism provides a direct correspondence between
various notions of Floer homology and arc diagrams, on the one hand, and contact
geometry and topology on the other. In particular, arc diagrams correspond to
quadrangulated surfaces, idempotents correspond to certain basic dividing sets,
strand diagrams correspond to contact structures, and multiplication of strand
diagrams corresponds to stacking of contact structures. The contact structures
considered are cubulated, and the cubes are shown to behave equivalently to local
fragments of strand diagrams.
