Products are limits🔗

We establish the correspondence between binary products and limits over the functor out of the two-object category which maps to and to

The two-way correspondence between products and terminal cones is simple enough to establish by appropriately shuffling the data.

Indexed products as limits🔗

In the particular case where is a groupoid, e.g. because it arises as the space of objects of a univalent category, an indexed product for is the same thing as a limit over considered as a functor We can not lift this restriction: If is not a groupoid, then its path spaces are not necessarily sets, and so the Disc construction does not apply to it.
