In this note we point out that certain algebraic-topological constructions are particular cases of one construction, namely double-negation sheafification. The principal cases we have in mind are concerned with booleanpowers, completions of boolean algebras, and maximal rings of quotients.We conjecture that several other constructions—particularly completion-type constructions—will turn out also to be examples of double-negation sheafification.
