Here is a list of stuff I’m planning to work on here:

Assorted 2-Categorical Stuff:

• 2-categorical miscellany?: explanations of things I want to understand, and definitions etc. that nobody seems to have written down before.

My Thesis:

• realizability?

  • regular logic?, regular fibration

  • equipment?, cartesian equipment?

• logical predicate?

• reducibility candidate?

Other Stuff (possibly for use in thesis, possibly not):

• Linton's theorem?

• lax 2-adjunction? (see also lax 2-adjunction on nLab)

• more to come…

Just so I don’t forget, here’s a couple of papers that I want to understand:

• Applegate–Tierney, Categories with models, LNM 80

• Kennison–Gildenhuys, Equational completion, model-induced triples and pro-objects, JPAA 1(4), doi, MR306289

including their relationship with shape theory and some stuff on pro- and ind-objects in chapter six of Stone Spaces.
