Not wishing to broadcast my illiteracy in the matter, I searched high
and low for the meaning of the quoted term, to no avail: neither Google,
nor Wikipedia, nor the other contemporary search mechanisms I tried,
offered any insight whatsoever into that term.
So I ask you now, in public, where my shame can be greatest: what
do you mean by "lativity"? Anagram for "vitality"?
(Yes, I have seen -- but been mystified by -- Eklund's use of that term
in an older Categories posting, of Feb 05 2014, 09:55, with Subject:
: categories: Re: Martin-Lof type theory gentle introduction please ... .)
Many thanks. Cheers, -- Fred
