Idea

In a context of synthetic differential geometry/differential cohesion a coreduced object is one all whose infinitesimal paths are constant. Compare the discrete objects, in which all paths are constant, meaning all discrete objects are also coreduced.

Definition

A context of differential cohesion is determined by the existence of an adjoint triple of modalities

&, \Re \dashv \Im \dashv \& \,,

where \Re and &\& are idempotent comonads and \Im is an idempotent monad.

A coreduced object or coreduced type is one in the full subcategory defined by the infinitesimal shape modality \Im or equivalently the infinitesimal flat modality &\&.

Note that an object XX being coreduced is the same as it being formally etale.
