i agree that we should not use the term "schizophrenic object" in category theory. for one thing, it sounds like some sort of a metaphor. we should never use metaphors. for another thing, it does not sound serious. it might suggest that we are sometimes joking. i propose that we use the term *bipolar object*. for one thing, it sounds more mathematical. for another thing, in psychiatry they only talk about subjects, not objects, so there is no confusion. my 2c, -- dusko [For admin and other information see: http://www.mta.ca/~cat-dist/ ]
