A universal cone is a specific kind of limit in category theory that captures the idea of a 'best' way to factor a collection of morphisms from objects to a single object. It consists of an object and a set of morphisms that satisfy certain universal properties, making it unique up to unique isomorphism. This concept is crucial in understanding how limits can be represented and preserved in various categorical contexts.
