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.

Real numbers and other completions
A notion of completeness and completion suitable for use in the absence of countable choice is developed. This encompasses the construction of the real numbers as well as the completion of an…

TLDR
A notion of interval object in a category with finite products is proposed, providing a universal property for closed and bounded real line segments, and it is proved that an interval object exists in and elementary topos with natural numbers object.
Models for smooth infinitesimal analysis
The aim of this book is to construct categories of spaces which contain all the C?-manifolds, but in addition infinitesimal spaces and arbitrary function spaces. To this end, the techniques of…
Synthetic Topology and Constructive Metric Spaces
The thesis presents the subject of synthetic topology, especially with relation to metric spaces. A model of synthetic topology is a categorical model in which objects possess an intrinsic topology…
The Dedekind reals in abstract Stone duality
TLDR
The core of the paper constructs the real line using two-sided Dedekind cuts, and shows that the closed interval is compact and overt, where these concepts are defined using quantifiers.

Constructive Set Theory
TLDR
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.
The realizability approach to computable analysis and topology
In this dissertation, I explore aspects of computable analysis and topology in the framework of relative realizability. The computational models are partial combinatory algebras with subalgebras of…
