  1. 1
    A full embedding whose image is a cocomplete category and for which every functor with a cocomplete image has an extension to a cocontinuous functor that is unique up to natural isomorphism.

    "We show that j satisfies this condition if and only if j presents #92;mathcal#123;V#125; as a free cocompletion of #92;mathcal#123;J#125; with respect to the weights for left Kan extensions along j, and so we call such systems of arities eleutheric."
