In category theory, a **cone** is a concept that originates from the idea of a collection of objects that map to a common object in a diagram. More formally, if you have a diagram \\( D \\) in a category \\( \\mathcal\{C\} \\), a cone over that diagram consists of: 1. An object \\( C \\) in \\( \\mathcal\{C\} \\), often referred to as the "apex" of the cone.
