In this context, we remark that it is also this state of affairs that gave rise to the term
“inter-universal”: That is to say, the notion of a “universe”, as well as the use of
multiple universes within the discussion of a single set-up in arithmetic geometry, already
occurs in the mathematics of the 1960’s, i.e., in the mathematics of Galois categories
and ´etale topoi associated to schemes. On the other hand, in this mathematics of the
Grothendieck school, typically one only considers relationships between universes ? i.e.,
between labelling apparatuses for sets ? that are induced by morphisms of schemes, i.e.,
in essence by ring homomorphisms. The most typical example of this sort of situation
is the functor between Galois categories of ´etale coverings induced by a morphism of
connected schemes. By contrast, the links that occur in inter-universal Teichm¨uller
theory are constructed by partially dismantling the ring structures of the rings in their
domains and codomains [cf. the discussion of §2.7, (vii)], hence necessarily result in
much more complicated relationships between the universes ? i.e., between the labelling apparatuses for sets ? that are adopted in the Galois categories that occur in the domains and codomains of these links, i.e., relationships that do not respect the various labelling apparatuses for sets that arise
from correspondences between the Galois groups that appear and the respective
ring/scheme theories that occur in the domains and codomains of the links.
