Topos-theoretic perspective<br />

A presheaf on P is a functor P op → Sets.<br />

So it consists of a family of sets {X (p) : p ∈ P} together with a<br />

restriction operation assigning to every element x ∈ X (p) and<br />

q ≤ p an element x · q ∈ X (q).<br />

Presheaves <strong>for</strong>m a topos PSh(P). Every topos has an “internal<br />

logic”: the internal logic of categories of presheaves is Kripke<br />

semantics (<strong>for</strong> intuitionistic logic).<br />
