    One of the many triumphs of this channel is how rigorously it treats "the roadmap."
    Obviously, any one aspect must necessarily lose a lot of resolution... but anyone new to these regions of math were going to forget all of that anyways.
    Rather, your depth is the width of the entire territory itself... meaning that I will waste SIGNIFICANTLY less time once I begin the journey of rigor through any one specific aspect.
    I really wish more channels would not only take this approach, but build on it. Thank you!

    I would say it’s the heart of geometry, rather than saying topology is distinct from geometry.
    It loses its meaning when it’s distinction from geometry is emphasized:
    Important though this first order concept may be for the logician/computer scientist.
    The question of what the essence of geometry is , is not answered by geometry itself!
    There is true maturity that develops when one uses the ‘system’ to transcend itself:
    Into the field of group actions on topological structures.
    To emphasize this vocabulary’s distinction from geometry: removes its life.
    Though one has the opportunity to indeed
    Emphasize the distinction.
    @1:30
    As someone who does construct characteristic classes in the name of this deeper form of geometry:
    Topology: and in particular the study of topological invariants,
    It is backwards … or, to me, strange to say it’s done ‘for category theory’:
    Unless maybe youre a computer scientist with a different sense of the value this concept has -
    The beginning of categroy theory, more naturally, start’s with grothendieck’s
    Concept of there being classes of objects: which reinterprets the euler characteristic in many different ways:
    e.g. (1) the edges of a 2-manifold’s subdivision are thought of as a vector space….
    Although, my appreciation is probably shallow in comparison to a computer scientist:
    So maybe eventually in my understanding it’s not truly backwards,
    But as a geometer, yes it actually is backwards.
    I apologize for accusing you of emphasizing a distinction: I see that’s what the rest of the video is for.
    @3:33
    One is bringing up noether: one is interested in the property of an abstract ring -
    Of every ideal : for Z, nZ, is finitely generated.
    This is simply an observation for this particular ring, but is a coveted property for an abstract ring.
    There is an implication of there being a readily available construction.
    I actually work for a literal construction worker in exploration of this concept in mathematics:
    ‘Construction’
    Obviously, the conclusion here is that you have a computer scientists understanding of topology.
    These chains in homology,
    Or ‘diagrams’ - which is a degrading term and not representative of the deeper meaning that the diagrams encode - is an excellent technology in understanding the primary structures, … but is only one high-way system on a fertile earfh which is richer a priori:
    This is the sheaf-theoretical topology, perhaps one could say in the sense of chebyshev: of there truly being Data of epsilons;
    Instead of using the noncommutativr algebra to hide from analysis.
    The fertile earth is richer a priori:
    And the diagrams is a culture built on a very fine fabric of one facet of wealth held in the kernel a prior.

    My professor was never a fan of the closure requirement and I agree with his reasoning. An operation is a function. A function is a triple (G, X, Y) where X is the domain and Y is the target. If you say that a group has a set and an operation "on that set", you've already stated the requirement that the domain and target of the function of the operation must be that set (or products of it). There is nothing left to check or require as far as closure is concerned.

      Yeah, and in the end you have a group operation with a closure property:
      So that’s an interesting psychological bent your professor has,
      With no new contribution to the group concept,
      Because the operation has this closure property.
      That’s its nature.

      Closure is necessary. For example define the set {-1, 0, 1} with the addition operation. This satisfies all the axioms except there is no closure. 1 + 1 = 2 which is out of the set. So it's not a group.

      That operation doesn’t have the closure property:
      So I don’t know what your professor is contributing - but no matter how one can logically twist things together, the nature of this concept is that the transformation will have a closure property.
      That’s correct.

      That’s very rude:
      This formal concept could mean a true diversity of things.
      If you feel this way, you should specify that you actually have a specific relationship to it: and then there’s no poor description here.
      There’s maybe a specific understanding.
      That’s about it.
      Perhaps the vocabulary of group actions on topological spaces is more lively than the computer scientific group:
