Exponential of covariant set-valued functors

ID: exponential-of-covariant-set-valued-functors

For a small category, this formula defines the exponential object in its covariant set-valued functor category. An arrow acts by precomposition with . Evaluation applies a natural transformation to ; currying a map sends to the transformation . The formulas prove the universal property directly, without an adjoint existence theorem.
