Extract

In (5), Peter Freyd recently raised the question of whether every Grothendieck topos could be obtained from the topos of sets by means of the two constructions of taking sheaves on a locale and of taking continuous actions of a topological group (i.e. the topos-theoretic analogues of the set-theorists' techniques of forcing extensions and permutation models). He showed that these two constructions do suffice to within epsilon; provided we allow ourselves the freedom to take exponential varieties (4) (which do not change the internal logic of the topos) we can obtain every Grothendieck topos in this way.
