> nLab 着重范畴论有关的数学
是对 nLab 不正确的描述.
> The nLab records and explores a wide range of mathematics, physics, and philosophy. Along with work of an expository nature, original material can be found in abundance, as can notes from evolving research. Where mathematics, physics, and philosophy arise in other fields, computer science and linguistics for example, the nLab explores these too.
如上 nLab 主页已经说明了它的选题范围, 绝不仅仅着重范畴论相关的数学. 从实际来看, nLab 也有不少页面不涉及范畴论.
所以建议删去帖子开头引用的明显误导的描述.
> especially (but far from exclusively) from the higher structures point of view
NPOV 是一种看待事物的观点, 可以应用于所有学科, 绝不仅仅适用于范畴论.
还是让我们听听创始人 Schreiber 的解释 (https://ncatlab.org/schreiber/show/What+is...+the+nLab)
> blessing and curse of Category Theory
category theory is meant as backdrop not as focus
helps to organize and unify the vast scope of topics
but nLab-contributions need not be categorical at all
on the contrary, a thorough supply of traditional material
is the substrate on which the nPOV comes into action
a better name for nLab might have been MathPhys-Lab.
