If we replace the spectrally ringed space in the definition of a spectral scheme with an arbitrary infinity-topos, what objects do we get?
I'll phrase this in terms of spectral AG, but I'm curious about the same question in the classical context.
We define a nonconnective spectral Deligne-Mumford stack to be a spectrally-ringed topos ...

What is the connection between Lurie's definition of shape and Čech homotopy?
It seems there are many subtly different notions of the shape of a topological space (and, more generally, toposes).
For instance, Lurie [Higher topos theory] defines this one:

How to formulate the univalence axiom without universes?
The standard formulation of the univalence axiom for a universe type $U$ is that, for all $X : U$ and $Y : U$, the canonical map $(X =_U Y) \to (X \simeq Y)$ is an equivalence.
