Feb 4, 2021 at 1:30 comment added Tim Campion An equivalent formulation of VP says that for any Ord-indexed sequence $(A_\alpha)_{\alpha <Ord}$ of objects of $\mathcal C$, there exists $\alpha < \beta$ and a morphism $A_\alpha \to A_\beta$. E.g. in Adamek-Rosicky, this is one of the first equivalent statements shown. (The flexibility about which $\mathcal C$ you assert this for while getting an equivalent to VP is similar to the original formulation.) This formulation is stronger and I think more natural since one needn't think about rigid objects. I don't know how similar the variant of Noah's question using this formulation would be.

Apr 22, 2015 at 18:11 comment added Joel David Hamkins Noah, I guess in the definition of satisfies VP, you want to insist that $\cal D$ and $\cal C$ are proper classes, rather than merely classes.
Apr 22, 2015 at 14:40 comment added Asaf Karagila Probably too trivial, but in the language of equality we can prove Vopenka's Principle.
