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
µᵦThis diagram is called the naturality square. We write µ : F ⇒ G, and call µₐ the component of µ at a.
