A natural transformation $\alpha \colon F\Longrightarrow G$ from $F$ to $G$ is a transformation

\[ \webleft\{ \alpha _{A}\colon F\webleft (A\webright )\to G\webleft (A\webright )\webright\} _{A\in \text{Obj}\webleft (\mathcal{C}\webright )} \]

from $F$ to $G$ such that, for each morphism $f\colon A\to B$ of $\mathcal{C}$, the diagram

commutes.[1]


Footnotes

[1] Further Terminology: The morphism $\alpha _{A}\colon F_{A}\to G_{A}$ is called the component of $\alpha $ at $A$.
