The problem in Set Theory ([\#4b]) and the other spaces and collections,
is that one cannot build a collection of all collections. In Category
Theory, one has the same problem, not being able to have a Category of
all Categories. There are various possible solutions to this:

-   Bound the size of objects by cardinal κ.
-   Use Classes (from Set Theory: Sets that satisfy first order
    formula).
-   Grothendiek Universes (similar to bounding the size).
-   Ignore the problem (possible for simple category theory).
