Abstract

This paper develops some of the ideas outlined by Alexander Grothendieck in his unpublished Esquisse d’un programme [0] in 1984.

“Lucky we know the Forest so well, or we might get lost” — said Rabbit, and he gave the careless laugh you give when you know the Forest so well that you ???’t get lost.

A. A. Milne
