   Format: MarkdownItexTo what extent is this proof of initiality intended to be constructive? I think that has some bearing on how the partial interpretations are treated. I think it should be possible to prove initiality in a constructive metalanguage, but maybe some shortcuts helpful for the intended audience are possible classically.

   Format: MarkdownItexIn particular, I think all the definitions of the partial interpretations should be expressed in purely category-theoretic language in the presheaf category $[C^{op},Set]$, which is inherently constructive, especially because the internal logic of this category is not classical. Is there something that looks nonconstructive to you?
