See Lawvere's 1966  The Category of Categories as a Foundation for Mathematics .  See Lawvere's  Cohesive Toposes and Cantor's 'iaufcer Einsen'  ( cf.  my "vague inkling" about cardinality in Frederic Schuller on Metric and Topological Spaces ) and  cohesive topos in nlab .  16:57 On structures and cohesion, with Lie groups as an example. See Anthony Bordg and Nicolò Cavalleri  Elements of Differential Geometry in Lean .  1:03:12 On applications to dynamical theory. See  Toposes of laws of motion in nlab  and this transcript of a 1997 lecture given in Montreal. 1:08:54  He goes back to Frege and the idea, from correspondence with Peano, that certain minimal atomic subsets have properties completely independent o...

Assumptions of Physics - Symplectic Group and Uncertainty

This was on Saturday: see  Coordinate invariant measures/entropy . It's such a shame that the well-established experts can't talk about these things , because they're much more interesting than the stuff you read in textbooks.

They can do position measurements with millimetre accuracy. So you will soon have surveillance cameras that can recreate 3D representations. You will also have very good sound systems for public spaces. Subscribe to Leve l2 Jeff .
