The universal morphism conjecture for properties of higher-categorical morphisms

From papers

Let ψ:AnCAT\psi:A\rightarrow nCAT' be a functor and let P\mathcal P be a property of morphisms from ψ\psi to objects of nCATnCAT'. A universal morphism with property P\mathcal P is a morphism ν:ψU\nu:\psi\to U that is universal among morphisms having that property. Universal morphism conjecture. If the four conditions listed in the paper hold—preservation of P\mathcal P by inverse limits, bounded factorization, preservation of P\mathcal P by the telescope construction, and the stated mapping criterion—then the argument of Section 5 constructs a universal morphism ν:ψT\nu:\psi\to T with property P\mathcal P. This is a conditional construction rather than an unconditional existence claim, and the paper does not establish all four conditions.
