Noun
natural transformation (plural natural transformations)
- (category theory) A morphism between a pair of parallel functors such that if each object of the shared domain category subtends a correlated arrow — called a component — in the shared codomain (which arrow represents the difference between applying the second functor and the first functor to the correlated object) then each arrow of the shared domain subtends a commuting square — called a naturality square — between two components (correlated to the domain and codomain of the arrow).
- natural isomorphism
