Theorem	setc2ohom 18062	(SetCat‘2o) is a category (provable from setccat 18052 and 2oex 8416) that does not have pairwise disjoint hom-sets, proved by this theorem combined with setc2obas 18061.

8.3.3  The category of extensible structures The "category of extensible structures" ExtStrCat is the category of all sets in a universe regarded as extensible structures and the functions between their base sets, see df-estrc 18089. Since we consider only "small categories" (i.e. categories whose objects and morphisms are actually sets and not proper classes), the objects of the category (i.e. the base set of the category regarded as extensible structure) are all sets in a universe 𝑢, which can be an arbitrary set, see estrcbas 18091. Generally, we will take 𝑢 to be a weak universe or Grothendieck universe, because these sets have closure properties as good as the real thing. If a set is not a real extensible structure, it is regarded as extensible structure with an empty base set. Because of bascnvimaeqv 18087 we do not need to restrict the universe to sets which "have a base". The morphisms (or arrows) between two objects, i.e. sets from the universe, are the mappings between their base sets, see estrchomfval 18092, whereas the composition is the ordinary composition of functions, see estrccofval 18095 and estrcco 18096. It is shown that the category of extensible structures ExtStrCat is actually a category, see estrccat 18099 with the identity function as identity arrow, see estrcid 18100. In the following, some background information about the category of extensible structures is given, taken from the discussion in Github issue #1507 (see https://github.com/metamath/set.mm/issues/1507 18100): At the beginning, the categories of non-unital rings RngCat and unital rings RingCat were defined separately (as unordered triples of ordered pairs, see dfrngc2 20605 and dfringc2 20634, but with special compositions). With this definitions, however, Theorem rngcresringcat 20646 could not be proven, because the compositions were not compatible. Unfortunately, no precise definition of the composition within the category of rings could be found in the literature. In section 3.3 EXAMPLES, paragraph (2) of [Adamek] p. 22, however, a definition is given for "Grp", the category of groups: "The following constructs; i.e., categories of structured sets and structure-preserving functions between them (o will always be the composition of functions and idA will always be the identity function on A): ... (b) Grp with objects all groups and morphisms all homomorphisms between them." Therefore, the compositions should have been harmonized by using the composition of the category of sets SetCat, see df-setc 18043, which is the ordinary composition of functions. Analogously, categories of Rngs (and Rings) could have been shown to be restrictions resp. subcategories of the category of sets. BJ and MC observed, however, that "... ↾cat [cannot be used] to restrict the category Set to Ring, because the homs are different. Although Ring is a concrete category, a hom between rings R and S is a function (Base`R) --> (Base`S) with certain properties, unlike in Set where it is a function R --> S.". Therefore, MC suggested that "we could have an alternative version of the Set category consisting of extensible structures (in U) together with (A Hom B) := (Base`A) --> (Base`B). This category is not isomorphic to Set because different extensible structures can have the same base set, but it is equivalent to Set; the relevant functors are (U`A) = (Base`A), the forgetful functor, and (F`A) = { <. (Base`ndx), A >. }". This led to the current definition of ExtStrCat, see df-estrc 18089. The claimed equivalence is proven by equivestrcsetc 18118. Having a definition of a category of extensible structures, the categories of non-unital and unital rings can be defined as appropriate restrictions of the category of extensible structures, see df-rngc 20594 and df-ringc 20623. In the same way, more subcategories could be provided, resulting in the following "inclusion chain" by proving theorems like rngcresringcat 20646, although the morphisms of the shown categories are different ( "->" means "is subcategory of"): RingCat-> RngCat-> GrpCat -> MndCat -> MgmCat -> ExtStrCat According to MC, "If we generalize from subcategories to embeddings, then we can even fit SetCat into the chain, equivalent to ExtStrCat at the end." As mentioned before, the equivalence of SetCat and ExtStrCat is proven by equivestrcsetc 18118. Furthermore, it can be shown that SetCat is embedded into ExtStrCat, see embedsetcestrc 18133. Remark: equivestrcsetc 18118 as well as embedsetcestrc 18133 require that the index of the base set extractor is contained within the considered universe. This is ensured by assuming that the natural numbers are contained within the considered universe: ω ∈ 𝑈 (see wunndx 17165), but it would be currently sufficient to assume that 1 ∈ 𝑈, because the index value of the base set extractor is hard-coded as 1, see basendx 17188. Some people, however, feel uncomfortable to say that a ring "is a" group (without mentioning the restriction to the addition, which is usually found in the literature, e.g., the definition of a ring in [Herstein] p. 126: "... Note that so far all we have said is that R is an abelian group under +.". The main argument against a ring being a group is the number of components/slots: usually, a group consists of (exactly!) two components (a base set and an operation), whereas a ring consists of (exactly!) three components (a base set and two operations). According to this "definition", a ring cannot be a group. This is also an (unfortunately informal) argument for the category of rings not being a subcategory of the category of abelian groups in "Categories and Functors", Bodo Pareigis, Academic Press, New York, London, 1970: "A category A is called a subcategory of a category B if Ob(A) ⊆ Ob(B) and MorA(X,Y) ⊆ MorB(X,Y) for all X,Y e. Ob(A), if the composition of morphisms in A coincides with the composition of the same morphisms in B and if the identity of an object in A is also the identity of the same object viewed as an object in B. Then there is a forgetful functor from A to B. We note that Ri [the category of rings] is not a subcategory of Ab [the category of abelian groups]. In fact, Ob(Ri) ⊆ Ob(Ab) is not true, although every ring can also be regarded as an abelian group. The corresponding abelian groups of two rings may coincide even if the rings do not coincide. The multiplication may be defined differently.". As long as we define Rings, Groups, etc. in a way that 𝐴 ∈ Ring → 𝐴 ∈ Grp is valid (see ringgrp 20219) the corresponding categories are in a subcategory relation. If we do not want Rings to be Groups (then the category of rings would not be a subcategory of the category of groups, as observed by Pareigis), we would have to change the definitions of Magmas, Monoids, Groups, Rings etc. to restrict them to have exactly the required number of slots, so that the following holds 𝑔 ∈ Grp → 𝑔 Struct ⟨(Base‘ndx), (+g‘ndx)⟩ 𝑟 ∈ Ring → 𝑟 Struct ⟨(Base‘ndx), (+g‘ndx), (.r‘ndx)⟩
