Summary

A vertex set and an arrow set equipped with source and target maps; loops and parallel arrows are allowed.

Notes

This is a quiver (also called a directed multigraph), not the simple-digraph convention in which an edge is merely an ordered pair of vertices.

SetQuiver / directed multigraph

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Use sets of vertices and arrows with source and target maps.

How to interpret this relation type

Equip an existing carrier or structured object with additional chosen data, when such compatible data exists. Use a construction junction when several independently meaningful inputs must coexist on the same carrier or interact compatibly.

Small categoryQuiver / directed multigraph

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Retain objects as vertices, morphisms as arrows, and the source/target maps. Parallel arrows and loops remain.

How to interpret this relation type

Pass canonically from a stronger object to structure it determines, or forget part of the data while retaining a valid weaker structure. The carrier may change under a canonical induced construction.

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Require no directed cycle.

How to interpret this relation type

Keep the existing data and select the subclass satisfying an additional law, existence condition, finiteness condition, or other property.

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Require no loops and, for each pair of distinct vertices, exactly one of the two possible directed edges.

How to interpret this relation type

Keep the existing data and select the subclass satisfying an additional law, existence condition, finiteness condition, or other property.
