I'm trying to decode the universal construction of the subobject classifier. We are constructing \(\Omega\) together with the monic \(true \colon 1 \rightarrowtail \Omega\) such that: for any monic between two arbitrary objects \(m \colon S \rightarrowtail P\) there exist a unique \(\chi \colon P \to \Omega\) such that \(S\) is a pullback of the following diagram.
This is messing up with my brain, since normally in a pullback you are given the two southeast arrows and solve for the two northwest arrows. This is like a categorical version of a sudoku.
