21.49.16.3  Terminal categories
Syntax	ctermc 49465	Extend class notation with the class of terminal categories.
class TermCat
Definition	df-termc 49466*	Definition of the proper class (termcnex 49569) of terminal categories, or final categories, i.e., categories with exactly one object and exactly one morphism, the latter of which is an identity morphism (termcid 49479). These are exactly the thin categories with a singleton base set. Example 3.3(4.c) of [Adamek] p. 24. As the name indicates, TermCat is the class of all terminal objects in the category of small categories (termcterm3 49508). TermCat is also the class of categories to which all categories have exactly one functor (dftermc2 49513). See also dftermc3 49524 where TermCat is defined as categories with exactly one disjointified arrow. Unlike https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/terminal+category 49524, we reserve the term "trivial category" for (SetCat‘1o), justified by setc1oterm 49484. Followed directly from the definition, terminal categories are thin (termcthin 49470). The opposite category of a terminal category is "almost" itself (oppctermco 49498). Any category 𝐶 is isomorphic to the category of functors from a terminal category to the category 𝐶 (diagcic 49533). Having defined the terminal category, we can then use it to define the universal property of initial (dfinito4 49494) and terminal objects (dftermo4 49495). The universal properties provide an alternate proof of initoeu1 17980, termoeu1 17987, initoeu2 17985, and termoeu2 49231. Since terminal categories are terminal objects, all terminal categories are mutually isomorphic (termcciso 49509). The dual concept is the initial category, or the empty category (Example 7.2(3) of [Adamek] p. 101). See 0catg 17656, 0thincg 49451, func0g 49082, 0funcg 49078, and initc 49084.
