Category Theory Alignment Chart

“The authors take the convention that…” "CATEGORY" MEANS "∞-CATEGORY" LAWFUL GOOD "∞-CATEGORY" MEANS "[∞,1]-CATEGORY" NEUTRAL GOOD "∞-CATEGORY" MEANS "[∞,∞]-CATEGORY" CHAOTIC GOOD "1-CATEGORY" MEANS "[∞,1]-CATEGORY" LAWFUL NEUTRAL "CATEGORY" MEANS "CATEGORY" TRUE NEUTRAL "∞-CATEGORY" MEANS "QUASICATEGORY" CHAOTIC NEUTRAL "CATEGORY" MEANS "[∞,∞]-CATEGORY" LAWFUL EVIL "∞-CATEGORY" MEANS "CATEGORY" NEUTRAL EVIL "CATEGORY" MEANS "[19,7]-CATEGORY" CHAOTIC EVIL

A nine-panel alignment chart assigns different mathematical meanings to terms such as “∞-category,” “1-category,” and “quasicategory.” The joke treats competing conventions in category theory like characters in a lawful-neutral-chaotic alignment chart, exaggerating how notation can vary between authors.
