}We provide a setting-independent definition of reals by introducing the notion of a streak. We show that various standard constructions of reals satisfy our definition. We study the structure of reals by noting that its pieces correspond to reflections on the category of streaks.

Constructive set theory

There is a widespread current impression that the theory of Godel functionals, with quantifiers and choice, is the appropriate formalism for Bishop's book [1], but this is not so, and in more advanced mathematics the complexities become intolerable.
