Locality

Intuitive

Explanations in this section should contain no formulas, but instead colloquial things like you would hear them during a coffee break or at a cocktail party.

Concrete

In this section things should be explained by analogy and with pictures and, if necessary, some formulas.

Abstract

A: Global field configurations have to be obtained by summing up local data. That means by gluing local field configurations together.

Q: What does it mean mathematically?

A: This is captured by the theory of sheaves.
