   Format: MarkdownItexI couldn't find an existing discussion for this page -- I hope I'm not duplicating such an existing discussion. I just added a bit to the introduction to clarify something that I was confused about -- a cartesian bicategory basically abstracts the properties of V-Prof, but only for cartesian V. To me, this feels like an interesting intermediate position between abstracting the properties of V-Prof for general V, and abstracting the properties of a bicategory like Cat. Of course, feel free to correct, rework, or roll back entirely my additions! Todd in particular has clearly put a lot of work into this page already.

   Format: MarkdownItexThanks! When starting a new Latest Changes thread, it's helpful to include a link to the page: [[cartesian bicategory]].

   Format: MarkdownItexPresumably the examples of internal categories and $V$-categories-for-cartesian-$V$ admit a common generalization to $V$-categories for any cartesian [indexed cosmos](http://www.tac.mta.ca/tac/volumes/28/21/28-21abs.html)?
