– It’s about nothing.
– No sets?
– No, forget the sets.
– You’ve got to have sets.
– Who says you’ve got to have sets? Remember when we were talking about functions of functions? That could be a theory all by itself.
So they are metagaming mathematics?
I don’t know that much of history, but by my accounts category theory is metagaming the metagame of the original mathematics metagamers.
So we’re at least 4 metas deep at this point?
