Aug 8, 2013 at 18:58 comment added Steve Huntsman @Jon: I was merely referring to the belief which I have heard expressed--but do not understand at all--that homotopy theory is foundational to mathematics as a whole. A prominent example along these lines would seem to be the homotopy type theory effort that Voevodsky et al. have been publicizing.

Aug 8, 2013 at 18:05 comment added Jon Bannon @Todd: I've gotta try that...set a personal policy.
Aug 8, 2013 at 17:44 comment added Todd Trimble I don't mind myself, but maybe use a text editor at home and then sleep on it? About being OCD with editing, I think you're probably in fine company around these parts.
Aug 8, 2013 at 17:24 comment added Jon Bannon I apologize to everyone for bouncing this question to the top so many times. I'm a bit OCD about editing questions...I need to get help for this problem. I wonder if there's a support group?

Aug 8, 2013 at 16:18 comment added Jon Bannon Categorification came up in the discussion that led me to ask this question. This might also be nice to hear about, and is perhaps what Steve meant in connection with homotopization?
Aug 8, 2013 at 16:15 comment added Jon Bannon @Steve: It would be nice to have a brief story of these themes you mention as an answer, I think.
Aug 8, 2013 at 16:10 comment added Steve Huntsman Categorization and "homotopization" seems like a pretty big one if MO is any indication.
