Abstract
We consider two preorder-enriched categories of ordered PCAs: , where the arrows are functional morphisms, and , where the arrows are applicative morphisms. We show that has small products and finite biproducts, and that has finite coproducts, all in a suitable 2-categorical sense. On the other hand, lacks all nontrivial binary products. We deduce from this that the pushout, over , of two nontrivial realizability toposes is never a realizability topos.
