   Format: MarkdownItexI got annoyed with the fact that these links did not exist, and so I created now stubs for them: * [[2-topos theory]] * [[(infinity,1)-topos theory]] To the latter entry I moved the references on $(\infty,1)$-topos theory that had been lsited at [[higher topos theory]].

   Format: MarkdownItexYeah, and I've been planning to move it to the main nLab for a while. But for now, a link will have to do.

   Format: MarkdownItexSince Joel Hamkins is looking at partial orders at his [blog](http://jdh.hamkins.org/an-algebra-of-orders/), I was wondering about [[Pos]] and its structure. Presumably it should be the archetypal (1,2)-topos, whatever that is. Those (non-commutative) ordered sum and product presumably are explicable category-theoretically.

   Format: MarkdownItexThe ordered sum is the collage of the terminal profunctor, and also the cocomma object of the product projections $A \leftarrow A\times B \to B$ (a.k.a. the join). The best I can do right now for the ordered product is that it's the (generalized) Grothendieck construction of the lax functor $B \to Prof$ that sends all objects to $A$ and all nonidentity morphisms to the terminal profunctor. Note that well-definedness of the latter depends on antisymmetry of $B$; it's not clear to me that it has a generalization to non-posets, or even to other (1,2)-toposes (since the definition as I gave it uses excluded middle).

   Format: MarkdownItexOk, thanks! So is there anything to learn from it being a $(1,2)$-topos, a topic we have absolutely nothing about on nLab.
