I will submit a final version in two more days if it can be accepted with penalty points. I am really embarassed. I am the author of the package (``dednat6'') that produces the diagrams that appear here... it 𝐢{used} to depend on LuaLaTeX, but the compositionality class is incompatible with LuaLaTeX, and the task of creating workarounds for this took me FAR longer than I predicted. My fault. ${=}($ \textbf{Proto-abstract} (may change): Different people have different ways of remembering theorems. A person with a very visual mind may remember a theorem in Category Theory mainly by the shape of a diagram and the order in which its objects are constructed. For such a person most books on Category Theory feel as if they have lots of missing diagrams, that she has to reconstruct if she wants to understand the subject. The shape of a categorical diagram remains the same if we specialize it to a particular case --- and this means that we can sometimes remember a general diagram, and the theorems associated to it, from the diagram of a particular case. In this work we will present some techniques for ``reconstructing'' these ``missing diagrams'' in a more or less canonical way, and we apply them to two factorizations of geometric morphisms that appear in Part A of Johnstone's ``Sketches of an Elephant: A Topos Theory Compendium''. Moreover, we show how to use some very visual particular cases to develop intuition about what these factorization ``mean''. \end{abstract} I started using the expression ``for children'' a long time ago, at first informally. I realized that toposes could be the right tool to study a variation of Non-Standard Analysis in which the ultrafilters were replaced by filters, and I tried 𝐢{very hard} to read \cite{Johnstone} and \cite{Goldblatt}. I did not go very far, and I kept saying to my friends ``𝐢{I need a version for children of this!}''. My problem was that I felt that for stylistical reasons 99\% of the diagrams were omitted from text, and the examples were mentioned very briefly or not at all... those books were intended for ``adult'' readers who knew --- maybe from contact with the ``oral culture'' of the area? --- how to produce the ``missing'' diagrams, examples, and calculations easily by themselves. In this work we will see a method that can be used to produce these ``missing diagrams'' in a somewhat canonical way. When we define ``children'' precisely, not in the sense of 𝐢{who they are} but in the sense of 𝐢{what kinds of tools and examples they prefer when they try to learn something that is too abstract}, we get guidelines for what kinds of concrete cases we should look for. This is my current definition of ``children''; it turned out to be incredibly fruitful. ``Children'': 1) have trouble with very abstract definitions; 2) prefer to start from particular cases, and then generalize; 3) handle diagrams better than algebraic notation; 4) like finite objects that can be drawn explicitly; 3) Become familiar with new mathematical objects by calculating and checking several cases, rather than by proving theorems; 4) Are not very good with algebra or proofs; 5) Are willing to use ``tools for children'' lke It turned out that this definition of If we establish that ``children'' have favourite 𝐢{shapes} for drawing their categorical diagrams, then they will draw the diagrams for the general case and for a particular case in parallel in similar shapes, in a way that lets them 𝐢{transfer knowledge} between the general and the particular cases quite easily; and the same between the ``external diagrams'' and the ``internal diagrams'' of section \ref{internal-diagrams}. In strictly mathematical terms this work is almost trivial. The result sketched in section \ref{two-factorizations}, that certain factorizations of geometric morphisms can be performed without leaving the realm of ZToposes, seems to be new, and the handful of experts to whom I showed the way of drawing sheaves in section \ref{sheaves-on-2CGs} told me that that was easy to believe, but they've never seen that in print and they didn't think it was folklore. \bsk like to draw their categorical diagrams all in It turned out that In this work we will reuse some ideas from \cite{OchsIDARCT}, that was mostly about how to 𝐢{erase} and then 𝐢{reconstruct} information from proofs; in particular, its sections 10 and 11 are about what happens when an author discovers a theorem, publishes it, and then a reader reads that, fills up the gaps in what was left implicit, and (sort of) reconstructs in his mind the author's intuitions. Here we will take a much more solid, or harder, view on how this reconstruction process works. % (find-angg ".emacs" "idarct-preprint") % (find-idarctpage 12 "10.
