Thank you for your kind responses.
Yes indeed, now I remember Jim Lambek talking about
multicategories (Boulder'87 and before).
I attribute my brain-freeze to being a senior citizen –
probably time for me to give up cats for dogs.
But maybe before I do, I would like to understand:

what are the correct dimensions for the Grassman algebras?

either remembering or forgetting some distinguished origin.
The idea of "forget" (structure) seemed unreasonably hard for me to explain
to a philosopher friend of mine, and I wound up getting confused myself
because it is not always clear to me when "forgetting" is trivial or
non-trivial.


Best to you all. ........ Al
