Thanks for understanding, Frank. Yes, the duality of vector spaces arises
as a particular instance with perfect duality only in the case of
finite-dimensional vector spaces. Here is a page outlining a broader
discussion: https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/duality

Duality turns out to be a surprisingly general structural construction, and
to the degree that categories aim to characterize phenomena (group ->
symmetry, set -> size, Dyn -> behavior, etc...), I believe dualities in and
between categories can guide quite a lot of rational exploration.
