   Format: MarkdownItexCorrected link to his NUMDAM publications. The article says > "He introduced the concept of a [[quasitopos]] in ([Penon 1973](#Penono73)) and gave a definition of weak n-category that was later proved to be too strict by Cheng and Makkai. His proposal was updated to take this particular objection into account. The article includes a link to his 1999 definition of "non-strict $\infty$-ctegories", which was presumably the one proved to be too strict, but not his updated proposal.
