I am interested in knowing how we can use the concepts of Limits and Colimits in modeling problems in every day life? Could anyone provide (Software) engineering examples, perhaps? Or describe intuitively in general for what sorts of modeling problems we can use these concepts? (Providing even few examples will help in gaining an intuitive sense to generalize the application of the concepts in also other problems which may be of interest). Thank you.
