In Section 3, I introduce the criterion of definable categorical equivalence (DCE), which The basic idea behind GDE is to count theories as formally equivalent just in case equivalent, the models in each formalism should have su�cient internal structure equivalence does not imply that the models of each theory are somehow definable However, we will now see that if we endow their models with coordinate systems, the resulting versions of Minkowski and Euclidean geometry become GDequivalent but not DC-equivalent. T1 and T2 are DC-equivalent with definable inner isomorphisms i↵ there are functors F : Cat (T1) !
