   Format: MarkdownItexadded an illustrating diagram to _[[inverse limit]]_, just so that one sees at one glance what the variance of the arrows is, since following through the "directed/codirected"-terminology and entries -- if one really is in need of the $\mathbb{Z}_2$-orientation -- can be a bit of a pain.

   Format: MarkdownItexI have added another example (the dyadic solenoid) and have created an entry on [[solenoid]]s.

   Format: MarkdownItexThe discussion is around here somewhere, but we'd decided to use [[inverse limit]] (and [[direct limit]]) essentially as disambiguation pages, since sometimes the mean [[codirected limit]] (and [[directed colimit]]) while sometimes they mean [[limit]] (and [[colimit]]) in general. So I'm moving the new material to [[directed limit]].

   Format: MarkdownItexI thought it was useful at _[[inverse limit]]_ because people may see that in the literature and may want to quickyl see what it means. Let's keep it there and duplicate it at _[[directed limit]]_.

   Format: MarkdownItexI tried to make it more clear at [[inverse limit]] that [[directed limit]] (or another page) has what one really needs.
