Existence of objects in the category of iterations of functors #
Given a functor Φ : C ⥤ C and a natural transformation ε : 𝟭 C ⟶ Φ,
we shall show in this file that for any well ordered set J,
and j : J, the category Functor.Iteration ε j is nonempty.
As we already know from the main result in SmallObject.Iteration.UniqueHom
that such objects, if they exist, are unique up to a unique isomorphism,
we shall show the existence of a term in Functor.Iteration ε j by
transfinite induction.
