As a mathematician, I feel that I have a reasonable understanding of category theory, but have never heard the word 'architectronic' (and Google, or at least the first page of Google results, knows it only as the name of a Red Snapper song). What does it mean?
EDIT: Ah, notfashion (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20772313 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20772313) clarifies that it is architectonic (just one 'r'): https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/architectonics#English https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/architectonics#English .
