A factorization system (E, M) for a category C consists of two classes of morphisms E and M of C such that:
- E and M both contain all isomorphisms of C and are closed under composition.
- Every morphism f of C can be factored as for some morphisms and .
- The factorization is functorial: if and are two morphisms such that for some morphisms and, then there exists a unique morphism making the following diagram commute:

Famous quotes containing the word system:
“He could jazz up the map-reading class by having a full-size color photograph of Betty Grable in a bathing suit, with a co- ordinate grid system laid over it. The instructor could point to different parts of her and say, “Give me the co-ordinates.”... The Major could see every unit in the Army using his idea.... Hot dog!”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
