Categorical Topology

Categorical topology is a branch of mathematics that uses the concepts from category theory to study topological spaces and continuous functions. It emphasizes the relationships and structures between spaces, rather than just the spaces themselves. In this context, objects represent topological spaces, and morphisms (arrows) represent continuous functions between them. By focusing on these relationships, categorical topology allows mathematicians to explore properties like continuity and compactness in a unified way, providing deeper insights into how different spaces relate to one another, akin to understanding the connections between ideas rather than just the ideas themselves.
