Abstract
We construct a calculus of functors in the spirit of orthogonal calculus, which is designed to study "functors with reality" such as the Real classifying space functor, . The calculus produces a Taylor tower, the -th layer of which is classified by a spectrum with an action of . We further give model categorical considerations, producing a zig-zag of Quillen equivalences between spectra with an action of and a model structure on the category of input functors which captures the homotopy theory of the -th layer of the Taylor tower.
