Dec 29, 2021 at 8:56 comment added მამუკა ჯიბლაძე My old question mathoverflow.net/q/159756/41291 might be related. There I asked about theories generated by their initial algebras. Since by Birkhoff "generated" means "HSP" in this case, dually this means categories where each object is obtainable by gluing together a bunch of subterminals, so they must "resemble" local homeomorphisms over a base (which are appropriate glueings of disjoint unions of bunches of open sets of that base space).

Dec 28, 2021 at 11:47 comment added Paul Taylor Excellent question. I added the (apparently new) "Stone Duality" tag because I believe these things are related. My hunch is that the commutative rig is necessary.

Dec 28, 2021 at 2:16 comment added Tim Campion I'm not sure in general, but the category of commutative monoids in any semiadditive, idempotent-complete symmetric monoidal category is another general class of examples (of a co-extensive category).
