Abstract: The aim of the present work is to develop a dualization of the Fraïssé limit construction from model theory and to indicate its surprising connections with the pseudo-arc. As corollaries of general results on the dual Fraïssé limits, we obtain Mioduszewski's theorem on surjective universality of the pseudo-arc among chainable continua and a theorem on projective homogeneity of the pseudo-arc (which generalizes a result of Lewis and Smith on density of homeomorphisms of the pseudo-arc among surjective continuous maps from the pseudo-arc to itself). We also get a new characterization of the pseudo-arc via the projective homogeneity property.
