| contents | We observe that the process of associating an action to any Schreier extension of monoids with commutative and cancellative kernel is functorial. We show that this functor is a generalisation of the direction functor, used to give a categorical description of non-abelian cohomology in terms of extensions. We further prove that our functor is a conservative, product preserving cofibration and from this we conclude that its fibres are endowed with a canonical symmetric monoidal structure. The commutative monoids obtained as connected components of these symmetric monoidal categories are isomorphic to Patchkoria second cohomology monoids of a monoid with coefficients in semimodules. |
