Conjecture   The set of connected components (regarding a funcoid or a reloid) is a partition of a filter.

See Algebraic General Topology for definitions of used concepts.

This conjecture has a trivial counterexample:

Consider endomorphism $ f=(\varnothing;A;A) $ of the category of funcoids where $ A $ is some infinite set. Then connected components regarding $ f $ are exactly ultrafilters on $ A $. The set of ultrafilters on an infinite set is not its partition.
