It took longer than initially planned, but our preprint on the connection between Isbell nuclei and linear realisability models is now online: hal.science/hal-05640508! This is a collaboration with @giannig.bsky.social, S. Jarvis and J. Terilla (both from @thegraduatecenter.bsky.social).

New paper! We have been interested in R-enriched adjunctions, motivated to understand structures arising from statistical data over textual corpora. This first paper delves into the geometric structure. A companion paper devoted to the logical structure is being finalised. Stay tuned!

Thrilled to see this paper finally out at the AMS Notices! Fantastic experience as a philosopher to work hand in hand with the talented mathematicians J Terilla and T-D Bradley on what a structuralist theory of language could be today. A modest proof that philo doesn’t have to be confined to ethics
