Abstract
This work is a step toward developing a logic for types and computation that in
cludes both the usual spaces of mathematics and constructions and spaces from
logic and domain theory. Using realizability, we investigate a configuration of three
toposes, which we regard as describing a notion of relative computability. Attention
is focussed on a certain local map of toposes, which we study first axiomatically, and
then by deriving a modal calculus as its internal logic. The resulting framework is
intended as a setting for the logical and categorical study of relative computability.
