Abstract
We attach to each weak model category a class of first order formulas about the fibrant objects of whose validity is invariant under homotopies and weak equivalences. This is a generalization of the classical Blanc-Freyd Language of categories -- which involves formula avoiding equality on objects and which are invariant under isomorphism and equivalences of categories. In particular, we obtain similar homotopy invariant languages for -categories, bicategories, chain complexes, Kan complexes, quasi-categories, Segal spaces, and so on...
