That is, given
α,β as below
their composition is exactly
β∘Cα
for this to be valid, the composition
β∘Cα must indeed be a
morphism in
CA, meaning that it must be that
f=h∘(β∘α).
This is the case because
α and
β are both themselves commutative triangles. Since
α is a commutative triangle then
f=g∘α; since
β is a commutative triangle then
g=h∘β. By replacement,
f=(h∘β)∘α. And since
C is a
category then composition associates, so that this becomes
f=h∘(β∘α).
