Sep 23, 2022 at 10:38 comment added Peter LeFanu Lumsdaine Worth noting another ambiguity in the question — what are the maps $C_n \to C_{n+1}$? Besides the Yoneda embedding, they could be taken using either of the two covariant actions of $\widehat{(-)}$, i.e. the left/right adjoints $(-)_!$, $(-)_*$. In particular, an analogy that springs to mind for me (and I guess OP had in mind) is the cumulative power-set hierarchy from set theory — and that uses the analogue of $(-)_!$ for its inclusion maps, not the analogue of Yoneda (which would be the “singleton” embedding $X \to PX$).
