Subcategory

A subcategory of a Category 𝒞 𝒞 \mathcal{C} is a subset of objects of 𝒞 𝒞 \mathcal{C} , along with a subset of morphisms on those objects that is closed under composites and identities.

Alternatively, a subcategory of 𝒞 𝒞 \mathcal{C} is simply a Faithful Functor 𝒞 𝒞 superscript 𝒞 𝒞 \mathcal{C^{\prime}}\to\mathcal{C} ; this definition does not violate the Principle of Equivalence.
