on foundations of mathematics in categorical logic and the role of adjoints in the formalization of quantifiers (base change). The main point is that the logical operations on propositions
existential quantifier context extension universal quantifier
constitute an adjoint triple. In type theory this is lifted from operations on propositions to operations on types, where it becomes
dependent sum context extension dependent product.
In topos theory and geometry this adjoint triple is often known as base change.
