Hi,
Simply-typed lambda calculus can be modelled by any Cartesian closed category where arrow types are modelled by exponentials, product types are modelled by products, the single-element type is modelled by terminal object, and beta-eta equivalence classes of terms-in-context are modelled by morphisms. Now suppose we have a complete Cartesian closed category. Which kind of type would be moldelled by limits? In other words, how can I understand the notion of limit from a computer scientist point of view? Same question for colimits. Thanks. David |
