   Format: MarkdownItexI've added some consequences of the interaction between $\neg\neg$ and Aufhebung of $\emptyset\dashv\ast$ at [[Aufhebung]]. This might profit from some expert's reality check though.

   Format: MarkdownItexThomas, in your [remark in the entry](http://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/Aufhebung#OnDoubleNegation), why does it follow that > in particular $\mathcal{E}_{\neg\neg}=\mathcal{E}_j$ in case the former is [[essential geometric morphism|essential]] ?

   Thomas, in your remark in the entry, why does it follow that

   in particular $\mathcal{E}_{\neg\neg}=\mathcal{E}_j$ in case the former is essential

   ?

   Format: MarkdownItex$\mathcal{E}_j$, the Aufhebung of $\emptyset\dashv\ast$ (which by definition has to be essential - a [[level]]), as a dense subtopos is always $\mathcal{E}_{\neg\neg}\subseteq\mathcal{E}_j$ by general facts on [[double negation topology]], so provided $\mathcal{E}_{\neg\neg}$ _is_ a level, it always wins out over other (dense) candidates. Lawvere discusses essentiality of $\neg\neg$ as a possible axiom in the Como 1991 paper and $\mathcal{E}_{\neg\neg}\subseteq\mathcal{E}_j$ occurs in the 1989 'taco' paper. What slightly surprises me is that $\mathcal{E}_{\neg\neg}=\mathcal{E}_j$ holds for all cohesive sites and that $\mathcal{E}_{\neg\neg}$ is the only possible candidate for _Boolean_ Aufhebung of $\emptyset\dashv\ast$.

   Format: MarkdownItexThanks, now I see what you mean. I have taken the liberty of slightly rephrasing that part in the remark to make it parse unambiguously.
