I'm looking for a better adjective than "eclectic" to use in the equation, "Topological spaces are ?eclectic? frames." "Lax" would be good but for its extant 2-cell connotations. "Relaxed", "mellow" (suggested at an FMCS in Calgary some years ago for tensor products not required to have a right adjoint in either argument), and "laid-back" come to mind. (These tension types were to my generation as snow types are rumored to be to Eskimos.)
The spaces closest to frames are sober, and the wayward ones are drunkard frames. Though in practice one might euphemistically call them "relaxed" or "mellow" out of kindness. Steve Vickers
