• Functoriality. The assignments $X,Y,\webleft (X,Y\webright )\mapsto X\rhd Y$ define functors
    \begin{gather*} \begin{aligned} X\rhd - & \colon \mathsf{Sets}_{*} \to \mathsf{Sets}_{*},\\ -\rhd Y & \colon \mathsf{Sets}_{*} \to \mathsf{Sets}_{*},\\ \end{aligned}\\ -_{1}\rhd -_{2} \colon \mathsf{Sets}_{*}\times \mathsf{Sets}_{*} \to \mathsf{Sets}_{*}. \end{gather*}

    In particular, given pointed maps

    \begin{align*} f & \colon \webleft (X,x_{0}\webright ) \to \webleft (A,a_{0}\webright ),\\ g & \colon \webleft (Y,y_{0}\webright ) \to \webleft (B,b_{0}\webright ), \end{align*}

    the induced map

    \[ f\rhd g\colon X\rhd Y\to A\rhd B \]

    is given by

    \[ \webleft [f\rhd g\webright ]\webleft (x\rhd y\webright )\mathrel {\smash {\overset {\mathclap {\scriptscriptstyle \text{def}}}=}}f\webleft (x\webright )\rhd g\webleft (y\webright ) \]

    for each $x\rhd y\in X\rhd Y$.
