    Any reason you decided to put the 2- on Lawvere rather than on theory, as Power+Lack did?

    I feel never sure on how to do this. I think I was led by my earlier decision to say (infinity,1)-algebraic theory. Is that a bad idea? Maybe.

    Well, I would consider the 2-ness as applying to the theory-ness rather than the Lawvere-ness, i.e. a 2-theory is a more general thing and a Lawvere one, or an algebraic one for that matter (or a regular one, a geometric one, etc) is only a particular case of it. But as long as there are redirects I’m not too fussed either way.

    In the future work section of Yanofsky's The Syntax of Coherence, it's suggested that developing multi-sorted 2-theories could allow theories for closed monoidal categories, among other things. Does anybody know if multi-sorted 2-theories have been worked on? Also, does the suggestion seem reasonable?

    Did you see Mike’s post on n-theories?

    I haven't. Thanks, it was a good read.
