Suppose N is any category which satisfies following axioms:
- There exists a distinguished object, z.
- There exists a distinguished functor, $\sigma': N\rightarrow N$.
- To any category $X$ with a distinguished object $\bar{x}$ and a functor $F:X\rightarrow X$, there exists a unique (I know, many consider it evil!) functor $F_\bar{x}:N\rightarrow X$ which respects the structure $\sigma, F$ and maps z to $\bar{x}$.
We define Peano category as category $\mathbb{N}$ with following structure:
- $\mathbb{N}$ is discrete skeleton category.
- There exist a distinguished object, 0.
- There exists a object-injective functor $\sigma: \mathbb{N}\hookrightarrow \mathbb{N}$.
- 0 is not in the image of $\sigma$.
- Induction: Let $B$ be a discrete-skeletal category with exactly two objects $(t, f)$. Let $\phi:\mathbb{N}\rightarrow B$ be any map. If $\phi(0) = true$ and $\phi(n) \Rightarrow \phi(\sigma(n))$, then every $n$ is mapped to true.
Based upon the above definitions, one can make following observations:
- N is infinite as $F_0$ is surjective.
- There is no arrow b/w any two distinct fibres defined by $F_0$.
Now, what I don't know is if (Question) every fibre contains exactly one object. If each fibre contains exactly one object, then inverse for $F_0$ can be constructed easily.
Any hint is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time.
