An effective topos is a category that behaves like a topoi but has additional structure, allowing for effective descent and sheaf-like properties. This means it has a subobject classifier and supports a form of logical reasoning akin to set theory, making it suitable for dealing with computational aspects in category theory and logic. Effective toposes provide a framework where one can define and reason about types, programs, and their properties in a constructive manner.
congrats on reading the definition of effective topos. now let's actually learn it.
