CategoryCartesian category

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Choose a terminal object and binary products satisfying their universal properties.

How to interpret this relation type

Equip an existing carrier or structured object with additional chosen data, when such compatible data exists. Use a construction junction when several independently meaningful inputs must coexist on the same carrier or interact compatibly.

Finitely complete categoryCartesian category

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Finite limits include a terminal object and binary products, yielding cartesian structure.

How to interpret this relation type

Pass canonically from a stronger object to structure it determines, or forget part of the data while retaining a valid weaker structure. The carrier may change under a canonical induced construction.

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Add internal hom\operatorname{hom} objects right-adjoint to product.

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

A cartesian category has finite products, which are limits of finite discrete diagrams, including a terminal object as the empty product.

How to interpret this relation type

Pass canonically from a stronger object to structure it determines, or forget part of the data while retaining a valid weaker structure. The carrier may change under a canonical induced construction.
