Syntax	cprstc 50475	Class function defining preordered sets as categories.
class ProsetToCat
Definition	df-prstc 50476	Definition of the function converting a preordered set to a category. Justified by prsthinc 50390. 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 50379), by prstcnid 50479, prstchom 50488, and prstcthin 50487. Other important properties include prstcbas 50480, prstcleval 50481, prstcle 50482, prstcocval 50483, prstcoc 50484, prstchom2 50489, and prstcprs 50486. Use those instead. Note that the defining property prstchom 50488 is equivalent to prstchom2 50489 given prstcthin 50487. See thincn0eu 50357 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.)
