    a stub, for the moment just so as to give a home to

    • William Lawvere, Functional Remarks on the General Concept of Chaos , IMA reprint 87, 1984 (pdf)

    Have added a word (here) on what Lawvere 1984 is actually proposing – namely to say “chaotic” for “codiscrete” = right adjoint to forgetful) and added cross-link with chaotic groupoid.

    I notice that Peter May in Guillou, May & Merling 2017, p. 5 writes:

    The senior author remembers hearing the name “chaotic” long ago, but we do not know its source.

    Is Lawvere 1984 the source of this terminology? Or did Lawvere just conceptualize a convention that was already in use?

    Last year we found out that chaotic topology goes back to SGA4-1, 1.1.4.

    Ah, thanks. So I have added commentary and pointer here.
