    added pointer (below a new Proposition-environment here) to where Paré states/proves the characterizations of L-finite limits (namely on his p. 740, specifically in his Prop. 7 – this also makes clear which typo the footnote is about).

    Similarly I added pointer (below a new Remark-environment here) to where Paré discusses the relation to K-finitness (namely the next page), together with attribution to Richard Wood.

    I suspect that ’LL-finite’ is the sort of thing that comes into its own in a constructive setting. Just as K-finite=finite=D-finite in classical mathematics (if I’m not mistaken), but these are different in the internal logic of a topos, one might need a special notion of finiteness of diagrams (added: invariant under suitable equivalence) that captures what is meant when doing internal category theory in a general topos.

    Incidentally, what’s an example of an L-finite category/limit that’s not finite?

    I don’t see that Paré’s article gives any such example. But we need to give one for the claim at finite limit that finite limits are not the saturation class of pullbacks+terminal object.

    Surely a non-finite category with an initial object is L-finite?

    Oh, I see, sure. I’ll add this as a remark now.

    But do we also have an interesting example?

    A finite coproduct of such is more non-trivial. Or take a finite category with some objects with no non-identity arrows coming out of them. Then attach a copy of the poset ω\omega to each one.

    K-finite sets are defined on this page in Remark 1.2, while at the same time the link K-finite set redirects to finite set where ’K-finiteness’ is given as

    admits a surjection from some finite set [n]; that is, it is a quotient set of a finite set.

    Is that obvious that these definitions are equivalent?

    This is also asserted in the section “Finiteness without infinity” on the page finite set. I don’t remember the proof offhand, but it’s probably in the Elephant.
