The covariant involution of the simplex category #

In this file, we introduce the functor rev : SimplexCategorySimplexCategory which, via the equivalence between the simplex category and the category of nonempty finite linearly ordered types, corresponds to the covariant functor which sends a type α to αᵒᵈ.

The covariant involution rev : SimplexCategorySimplexCategory which, via the equivalence between the simplex category and the category of nonempty finite linearly ordered types, corresponds to the covariant functor which sends a type α to αᵒᵈ. This functor sends the object ⦋n⦌ to ⦋n⦌ and a map f : ⦋n⦌ ⟶ ⦋m⦌ is sent to the monotone map (i : Fin (n + 1)) ↦ (f i.rev).rev.
