Comonoids in chu: a large cartesian closed sibling of topological spaces

ComK may be defined as the (cartesian closed) category of comonoids in chuK , or equivalently as dictionaries D for which any crossword over D has its main diagonal in D. Com2 resembles Top, ordinary topological spaces. Common to both are the Alexandroff posets and the Scott DCPOs, while the topological space R and the dual DCPO {−∞ < . . . < −2 < −1 < 0} jointly witness the incomparability of Com2 and Top. Such comonoids support a notion of bitopology admitting limits simultaneously for convergence and divergence. We raise the questions of whether a comonoid in chu2 can be fully specified in terms of its specialization order and omitted cuts, and which cuts are optional. These questions have been actively pursued for four weeks as of this writing on the theory-edge mailing list in response to Puzzle 1.5 starting with http://groups.yahoo.com/group/theory-edge/messages/6957.
