   Format: MarkdownItexNotice that there was already an entry _[[dual vector space]]_. Generally I find we need to be careful with using the unadorned word "space" in entry titles. It means so many different things.

   Format: MarkdownItex@Toby: since you seemed to have accomplished the merge successfully, can you tell me the exact steps you took? In particular, avoiding the cache bug and so forth? (I asked you this over at the double negation thread as well.)

Normally I'd agree; or rather, I'd say that it should be used in entry titles only when those entries (at least potentially) cover the full generality (or when the entry is on a specific kind of space, of course). But here I don't think that there's any other meaning. (See also my remarks in the current Idea section.)

   Format: MarkdownItexAnd then there are mirror dual Calabi-Yau spaces, and AdS/CFT dual spacetimes and so forth. There are just too many notions of "space" "duality" out there.

   Format: MarkdownItexOK, I added a bit to the Idea section, but maybe somebody wants to create [[dual space]] to disambiguate? (I've written a lot of links lately to [[dual space]] from articles on Banach spaces, but those could be fixed.)
