Each relation below starts at this concept.
This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
- Relation ID
story_functor_to_adjunction_add_data- Relation type
- Add data
add-data - Direction
- source → target
- Endpoint roles
- source: Builds toward; target: Built from
- Authored annotation
- pair with an adjoint functor
Authored explanation
An adjunction consists of a left and right adjoint functor together with equivalent unit/counit or hom-set data; a single functor need not possess an adjoint.
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.
This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
- Relation ID
story_functor_to_categorical_colimit_canonical_construction- Relation type
- Canonical construction
canonical-construction - Direction
- source → target
- Endpoint roles
- source: Canonically constructs; target: Canonically constructed from
- Authored annotation
- take a colimit of a diagram
Authored explanation
A diagram is a functor into a category; when a universal cocone exists, its apex is the colimit of that diagram.
How to interpret this relation type
Apply a standard functorial or canonical construction whose output is not merely a reduct of the input and is not generally an equivalent presentation of the same object.
This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

- Add data

- Endpoint roles
- source: Builds toward; target: Built from
- Authored annotation
- compare parallel functors
Authored explanation
Choose a second parallel functor and supply component morphisms satisfying the naturality equations.
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.
This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
- Relation ID
story_functor_to_presheaf_framework_specialization- Relation type
- Framework specialization
framework-specialization - Direction
- source → target
- Endpoint roles
- source: Specializes to; target: Special case or refinement of
- Authored annotation
- contravariant Set-valued functor
Authored explanation
A presheaf is a functor from the opposite of a category to Set.
How to interpret this relation type
A more specific theory, model, entity class, or regime is obtained by restricting or extending the scope of a broader framework.
