He was an interesting character, living among interesting people, in interesting times, and writing profusely; i will try to read more from him. | |

| Sep 27, 2023 at 3:02 | comment | added | plm | Hi @CarloBeenakker. I was more shallow: the article i link to explains how Dieudonné classified mathematicians into three classes. To call that, i was hesitating between "trio", "triplet", and then came "triality" which reminded me of Tits and Bourbaki, of (bi)linear algebra, so of Dieudonné. Plus i thought Dieudonné would not have disowned the taoist (traoist ?) flavor of the word, as many Bourbaki mathematicians were fond of Asia and traveled there. Also Weil defended that lesser mathematicians were necessary for the more brilliant ones to exist, a view which fits the -lity view. | |

| Sep 26, 2023 at 18:31 | comment | added | Carlo Beenakker | with "triality" you mean "structural, geometric, and calculatory intuition"? | |
| Sep 26, 2023 at 14:45 | comment | added | plm | I found a (let's say) triality of his in cairn.info/revue-francaise-de-sociologie-1-2009-2-page-351.htm paragraph 61. The quote you give is a little strange as is, as existence and construction largely overlap -and intuitionists would equate them. I'm going to look for it a little more. | |
