Peter Easthope points out that in
Lawvere & Schanuel there is no
mention of Arend Heyting. That is
unfortunate, especially since
pp 348-352 are devoted to
introducing Heyting's Algebras
and one of their possible
objective origins. The 2nd edition
should correct this omission.
Summarizing the 16 responses,
a common thought of many must
have been
"If small implies finite
then any example must be a poset
(category in which any two parallel
maps are equal) because of Freyd's
theorem. A CC poset is almost
by definition a Heying Algebra.
There are linearly ordered ones of
any size, but if the size is four or more,
there are also examples that are not
linearly ordered....
On the other hand if infinite examples
are allowed, and posetal ones are not,
it is hard to think of a CCC smaller than
a skeletal category of all finite sets."
