Abstract
The unstraightening construction due to Lurie establishes an equivalence between presheaves and fibrations, using one prominent model of -categories, namely quasi-categories. In this work we generalize this result by proving that for all -cosmoi of -categories in the sense of Riehl and Verity, which includes quasi-categories but also complete Segal spaces or -complicial sets, their corresponding notions of fibrations and presheaves are biequivalent -cosmoi via a natural zig-zag of cosmological biequivalences. The major idea that makes this possible is a lift of the quasi-categorical unstraightening construction to a cosmological biequivalence.
