| Jul 7, 2013 at 19:40 | comment | added | Ittay Weiss | mappings are typically taken to be synonymous with functions. Anyways, you should really define your terms then more clearly. Besides, you were already given several examples where morphisms in a category are not structure preserving anything. | |

| Jul 7, 2013 at 19:28 | comment | added | JMCF125 | Homomorphisms have to be functions? That's not what I read. | |
