Chapter 2 in Algebra and Galois Theories, 2020, pp 21-70 from Springer

These constructions can be transferred from one model to another representing the same situation. Category theory has been elaborated so as give this vague but powerful idea a precise meaning which can be used in mathematical proofs.
