Yoneda Lemma

The Yoneda Lemma is a fundamental concept in category theory that shows how an object can be understood entirely by how it relates to all other objects. It states that analyzing all the ways an object interacts with others (through morphisms) is equivalent to understanding the object's own structure. In essence, it means that to understand an object, you can look at all the mappings into or out of it, and this perspective captures the true nature of the object itself. This principle helps connect objects with their relationships, providing a powerful way to study complex systems through their interactions.
