Oct 30, 2019 at 10:40 comment added Jakob Werner I should say that schemes (or algebraic spaces) are not what I am after. I understand how one can argue that they are not linear objects, but in the hierarchy of mathematical objects they are based on affine schemes, which are algebras, which are based on vector spaces. I am looking for something that comes before vector spaces in the complexity hierarchy of mathematical objects – like sets.
Oct 30, 2019 at 10:35 comment added Denis Nardin @EBz Minor correction: you need algebraic spaces, not schemes for descent to work (or else to restrict yourself to, say, quasi-projective schemes).

Oct 29, 2019 at 16:20 comment added user108998 I'm by no means an expert but I would say this is absolutely not a linear-specific phenomenon. Schemes X (let's say of finite type but I'm not sure of the exact most general context here) over K plus a Gal equivariance (ie isoms X--->^{\sigma}X for all \sigma in Gal) are the same as schemes over k. Does this count as non-linear? I would say it does. For a pretty vast generalization look up faithfully flat descent.
