A categorification of the notion of -frame.
A -pretopos is a pretopos where all countable unions of subobjects (exist and) are pullback-stable.
A -pretopos is
a category
with a generating set,
with all finite limits,
with all countable coproducts, which are disjoint, and pullback-stable,
where all congruences have effective quotient objects, which are also pullback-stable.
Any infinitary pretopos is a -topos.
The category of countable sets (for instance, subquotients of the natural numbers ) is a -pretopos.
The category of sets in the predicative set theory from (Simpson-Streicher 2012) is a -pretopos.
The concept is defined and discussed around Lemma A.1.4.19 in
A predicative approach to foundations using -pretoposes is given in
Simplicial homotopy internal to a -pretopos is studied in:
