description

This paper continues to develop the theory of categorically algebraic (catalg) topology, introduced as a common framework for the majority of the existing many-valued topological settings, to provide convenient means of interaction between different approaches. Motivated by the results of universal topology of H. Herrlich, we show that a concrete category is fibre-small and topological if and only if it is concretely isomorphic to a subcategory of a category of catalg topological structures, which is definable by topological co-axioms.
