It would help if someone could tell what's wrong in my reply.

- keithalewis 2y agoYou made a completely obvious and true statement starting with "It would help..." That seems to be frowned upon on HN. BTW, a simpler definition of a (small) category is that it is a partial monoid.

- xanderlewis 2y agoYou mean a monoidoid. (I’m not sure this ‘simpler definition’ is going to help!)
- CJefferson 2y agoI didn't downvote you, but honestly, it doesn't really help understand what commuting diagrams are. I use them all the time, and never use category theory. Your description was all abstraction, and I can't imagine would help anyone who didn't already know what we are talking about. A concrete example would greatly help!
