| The nice target category ${\bf{Set}}$ is like a ring (say $\mathbb R$) and the functor category ${\bf{Set}}^{\bf{C}}$ with objects $\omega,\mu,\dots$ is like a space of functionals on a space ${\bf{C}}$. The topos/functional space is richer than the base {\bf{C}}: The target (${\bf{Set}}$ resp. $\mathbb C$) has a nice algebraic structure (e.g. co-products resp. addition), which we can pull back to define one on ${\bf{Set}}^{\bf{C}}$. As in $\omega+\lambda:=\left(v\mapsto\omega(v)+\mu(v)\right)$. | The nice target category ${\bf{Set}}$ is like a ring (say $\mathbb R$) and the functor category ${\bf{Set}}^{\bf{C}}$ with objects $\omega,\mu,\dots$ is like a space of functionals on a space ${\bf{C}}$.
