What does "canonical" mean?

The word "canonical" (a word with no formal definition and which means different things to different people) is used about ten times in the "definition" of a prestack. Maybe someone who knows what they're talking about might want to use instea a word which has a meaningful definition (e.g. natural isomorphism, isomorphism which commutes with this list of stuff-which-isomorphisms-might-commute-with but not necessarily with this other list...).

This isn’t a fix but I have renamed the section to "Informal definition". —- Taku ( talk) 07:49, 25 June 2021 (UTC) reply
