The general problem solved is that we have an
f: A -> C
and want to factor it intog;h
orh;g
(whereg
is known andh
is being solved for). This is tantamount to homomorphism search in a (co)-slice category.This is implemented in C-Set as well as slice cats. The hope is that the main code can be written agnostic to what category we are working in, and whether or not one's particular types implement
homomorphisms
andfactorize_constraints
dictates howfactorize
behaves on a (co)span of morphisms in a given category.
