A paper titled In Cantor Space No One Can Hear You Stream

The post highlights a computer science paper with a deliberately witty title that riffs on a famous movie line.

The abstract is still real technical content: the authors revisit sheaves through type theory and side-effects, use MLTT to inductively approximate idealized functional objects as decision trees, and formalize a generalized notion of continuity. They also mention a case study on sheaf extension of MLTT with a Cohen real and leverage it to show uniform continuity results for all MLTT functionals of type (N → B) → N, mechanized in Rocq.
