Permutation category
In mathematics, the permutation category[1] is a category where
- the objects are the natural numbers,
- the morphisms from a natural number n to itself are the elements of the symmetric group and
- there are no morphisms from m to n if .
It is equivalent as a category to the category of finite sets and bijections between them.
