It is, very simply, the set of functions from A to B. If f is a function from A to B (which takes its arguments from the set A and its values from the set B), noted A f B, this function f will be an element of the exponential set BA. Since in set theory a function is itself a set, there is no problem: the elements of BA are the particular sets that are the functions from A to B. We write this: f ∈ BA. The ‘generalization’ that comes to mind is the following: take a category and, in this category, two objects a and b.
So let’s revisit set theory. Take a set A and a set B. What is exponentiation, denoted BA? It is, very simply, the set of functions from A to B. If f is a function from A to B (which takes its arguments from the set A and its values from the set B), noted A f B, this function f will be an element of the exponential set BA. Since in set theory a function is itself a set, there is no problem: the elements of BA are the particular sets that are the functions from A to B. We write this: f ∈ BA. The ‘generalization’ that comes to mind is the following: take a category and, in this category, two objects a and b.
Since there is nothing to ‘see’, it is obvious that any object in the category concerned has the capacity for such a ‘view’ (which is the capacity to do nothing). The empty diagram, for any category, admits any object of this category as its cone. What then is a limit for the empty diagram? It is an object which is ‘visible’ from every object, since they are all cones. Moreover, the visibility arrow must be unique (condition of universality). So: in a given category, the empty diagram admits a limit if there exists in the category an object, denoted 1, which is such that there exists, for every object of the category, one and only one arrow which goes from this object toward 1.
