\abbreviation{Cat}

\begin{definition}
A \emph{category} is a structure $\mathbf{C}=\langle C,\circ,\text{dom},\text{cod}\rangle$ of type $\langle 2,1,1\rangle$ such that
$C$ is a class,

$\langle C,\circ\rangle$ is a (large) \href{Partial_semigroups.pdf}{partial semigroup}

$\text{dom}(x)$ is a left unit:  $\text{dom}(x)\circ x=x$

$\text{cod}(x)$ is a right unit:  $x\circ\text{cod}(x)=x$

$\text{dom}(\text{dom}(x))=\text{dom}(x)=\text{cod}(\text{dom}(x))$

$\text{cod}(\text{cod}(x))=\text{cod}(x)=\text{dom}(\text{cod}(x))$

if $x\circ y$ exists then $\text{dom}(x\circ y)=\text{dom}(x)$ and $\text{cod}(x\circ y)=\text{cod}(y)$

$x\circ y$ exists iff $\text{cod}(x)=\text{dom}(y)$

Remark: The members of $C$ are called \emph{morphisms}, $\circ$ is the partial operation of \emph{composition},
dom is the \emph{domain} and cod is the \emph{codomain} of a morphism.

The set of objects of $C$ is the set $\mathbf{Obj}C=\{\text{dom}(x)|x\in C\}$. For $a,b\in C$ the set of homomorphism from $a$ to $b$ is
$\text{Hom}(a,b)=\{c\in C|\text{dom}(c)=a\text{ and }\text{cod}(c)=b\}$.
\end{definition}

\begin{morphisms}
Let $\mathbf{C}$ and $\mathbf{D}$ be categories. A morphism from $\mathbf{C}$ to $\mathbf{D}$ is a function $h:C\rightarrow D$ that is a homomorphism: 
$h(\text{dom}(c))=\text{dom}h(c)$ and
$h(c\circ d)=h(c) \circ h(d)$ whenever $c\circ d$ is defined.
\end{morphisms}
