Part : Cat → Cat Part C = C^{● → ○} ● represents the total space ○ represents the set of indices For our purposes C := Set. ⊔ : Part C → C ⊔ = composition with {●} → {● → ○} D ⊣ ⊔ ⊣ ⊤ -------------------------------- The refinement of two partitions ● → ○₁ and ● → ○₂ with the same total space is ● → ○₁ × ○₂.
