Natural Transformation
µ = { µₐ : F a → G a | a ∈ 𝒞 }
A natural transformation, µ
, between two functors, F,G : C → D
, is a family of morphisms indexed by objects in 𝒞
, such that for all morphisms f : a → b
the following diagram commutes:
µₐ
Fa --------> Ga

|Ff |Gf

↓ ↓
Fb --------> Gb
µᵦ
This diagram is called the naturality square. We write µ : F ⇒ G
, and call µₐ
the component of µ
at a
.
