Toposes of Laws of Motion
transcript of a talk in Montreal (Sept. 1997)
[pdf]
on the formulation of differential equations/continuum mechanics in synthetic differential geometry and the notion of toposes of laws of motion.
Another early text in this direction is Lawvere’s Categorical dynamics. Related texts on the foundations of physics in topos theory include the collection Categories in Continuum Physics.
An open question concerning the characterization of “Toposes of laws of motion” is raised as question 7 “The algebra of time” in
Entries with related discussion include geometry of physics and higher category theory and physics. Refinement to higher topos theory is discussed at Higher toposes of laws of motion.
