Jul 10, 2015 at 3:51 comment added category_student OK, thanks, it was not clear to me that this was a cardinality issue. A last question: Can I always index an ind-object by an ordinal, instead of just the integers?
Jul 10, 2015 at 1:23 comment added David Roberts @EricWofsey well, assuming appropriate background logic :-)
Jul 10, 2015 at 0:58 comment added Benjamin Steinberg It's like sequences versus nets.
Jul 10, 2015 at 0:48 comment added Eric Wofsey For countable filtered diagrams, you can always find a cofinal sequence, but for uncountable filtered diagrams you usually cannot.
Jul 10, 2015 at 0:40 comment added grghxy Please describe $\mathbf{C}$ as a direct limit of a countably-indexed directed system of finitely generated $\mathbf{Q}$-subalgebras. Lots of interesting "ind"-constructions cannot be expressed with a countable index set.
Jul 10, 2015 at 0:33 comment added category_student OK but given an ind-object indexed by integers with divisibility I can just look at $n!$ and get an equivalent ind-object indexed by integers. Can I always do that?
