timeletsI keep coming back to this video about the relationship between (pre-)sheafs and cohomology. Here he says that "the number one technique in mathematics is turning any problem into a linear algebra problem.
More generally, Lawvere often talks about mapping geometry to algebra.

D --> J <-- T ( c: D --> T is the solution to a choice problem, per Lawvere).
d: D --> J
e: T --> J
c: D --> T
This diagram is a regular Kan extension problem, with a cohomology twist, i.e. assigning values to both objects and arrows.
