Colimit criterion for representability of a presheaf

ID: colimit-criterion-for-representability-of-a-presheaf

A categorical presheaf is representable if its elements projection has a colimit and the presheaf preserves the opposite-indexed categorical limit of that projection. Compatibility of all distinguished elements then supplies a universal element at the colimit object. The preservation requirement must cover this diagram even when its indexing category is large.
