In the section on pseudoquasimetric spaces, the wording currently seems to imply that the category of non-extended pseudoquasimetric spaces still admits all finite coproducts, just not infinite ones. Isn't that false? The distance between elements of X and Y in X+Y would have to be infinite in order

Hi! The definition of the metric is false (btw it is also false on the page for distance). What you are defining is a pseudometric when we only request d(x,x) = 0 (which is defined correctly later on in the section on generalizations). A distance has to satisfy the stronger condition that d(x,y) = 0

The SNCF and the post office metric are two distinct concepts. The distance between Marseille and Lyon with respect to the SNCF metric is just the Euclidian distance bewtween the two cities, whereas it is the sum of the Euclidian distances Marseille-Paris and Lyon-Paris with respect to the post

on MathOverFlow. Namely, if we collapse (to a point) each closed interval complementary to the Cantor set, then the topological quotient space is homeomorphic to , but the pseudometric defined in the article is trivial (all distances are 0).

FWIW, I would prefer to go back to four axioms, even if they are redundant. It's a very small point, but I believe explicitly stating non-negativity early on really helps the reader on their first encounter with the definition. –

This section talks about relaxing axioms 1 to 4, but there are only 3, as they've been refactored. I don't think I know how to correct it, given that removing eg 2 or 3 may mean you have to add positivity back in.

for X+Y to admit nonexpansive maps to all spaces X and Y map to, but that's not possible with a non-extended metric, so for any two nonempty spaces there should not be a coproduct at all.

The image provided seems to suggest that the diameter of a bounded set is the diameter of the smallest ball which contains it, which is incorrect (e.g. in

That definition is for a closed ball - it includes points on the boundary, at distance r. For an open ball, you need all points less than distance r.
