Subject: A category internal to itself
Date: Wed, 4 Sep 2013 11:23:19 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <E1VHI4M-0006nv-1u@mlist.mta.ca> (raw)

Chatting at a conference, the question came up why there is no
(non-trivial) category which is "internal to itself" (interpret this
in some sensible sense). And over coffee we thought this must be well
known, but not to us. Can somene shed some light on the matter?

With kind regards,

Andrej
