The covariant category of elementsπŸ”—

While the category of elements comes up most often in the context of presheaves (i.e., contravariant functors into the construction makes sense for covariant functors as well.

Sadly, we cannot simply reuse the contravariant construction, instantiating as the resulting category would be the opposite of what we want. Indeed, in both the covariant and contravariant cases, we want the projection to be covariant.

Thus we proceed to dualise the whole construction.
