"Just as a monoid consists of an underlying set with a binary operation "on top of it" which is closed, associative and with an identity, a [[category]] consists of an underlying digraph with an arrow composition operation "on top of it" which is transitively closed, associative, and with an identity at each object. In fact, a [[category]]'s composition operation, when restricted to a single one of its objects, turns that object's set of arrows (which would all be loops) into a monoid."
