Syntax	cprstc 50175	Class function defining preordered sets as categories.
class ProsetToCat
Definition	df-prstc 50176	Definition of the function converting a preordered set to a category. Justified by prsthinc 50090. This definition is somewhat arbitrary. Example 3.3(4.d) of [Adamek] p. 24 demonstrates an alternate definition with pairwise disjoint hom-sets. The behavior of the function is defined entirely, up to isomorphism (thincciso 50079), by prstcnid 50179, prstchom 50188, and prstcthin 50187. Other important properties include prstcbas 50180, prstcleval 50181, prstcle 50182, prstcocval 50183, prstcoc 50184, prstchom2 50189, and prstcprs 50186. Use those instead. Note that the defining property prstchom 50188 is equivalent to prstchom2 50189 given prstcthin 50187. See thincn0eu 50057 for justification. "ProsetToCat" was taken instead of "ProsetCat" because the latter might mean the category of preordered sets (classes). However, "ProsetToCat" seems too long. (Contributed by Zhi Wang, 20-Sep-2024.)
