When Franz Kafka said, "I ran from love because I knew it would destroy me. " but Fyodor Dostoevsky said, "I ran into love because I needed it to destroy who I used to be. "

Does anyone have any good references for learning about abelian categories properly?

Someone needs to make a game that seems like an optimization/puzzle game about shipping little blob guys which can combine with each other but actually secretly teaches you homological algebra. You could start off having several “nests” of blob guys corresponding to different species of blob guys, the blob guys in a nest could stick together into blob guy balls and these blob guy balls would be subject to different relations depending on the species. Then you would have to ship blob guys between nests in such a way that preserves blob balls. There would be various puzzles and such around this which would secretly introduce basic concepts about abelian groups. Then you could also introduce rings by allowing some species of blob guys to “breed” (note that this would make the fact that multiplication distributes over addition simple because it would amount to saying that breeding two blob guy balls amounts to breeding each blob guy in the first ball with each blob guy in the second) I feel like you could get to the point where your dealing with chain complexes tans homology and all that jazz articulated purely in terms of blob guys. It’d be awesome. But unfortunately the only coding knowledge I have is like a small amount of html so I can’t make it :(

Sometimes I wish I were less attached, less thoughtful, less caring… but this is who I am.

I hope for once I am in included in that all

Lol, hope it goes the same for me

Cows are great for making a vector space because they're usually over a field.

Moreover, the field is closed.

I need to remember this every now and then
