Implication details

Claim: If a category is total, then it is cocomplete.

Proof: If the category C\C is locally small and total, then the Yoneda embedding y:C→[Cop,Set]y : \C \to [\C^{\op}, \Set] makes C\C into a reflective subcategory of the presheaf category [Cop,Set][\C^{\op}, \Set], where the latter is cocomplete. Now use that a reflective subcategory of a cocomplete category is cocomplete. For a general total category C\C, use the equivalence to a locally small, total category.
