Definition. category of FF-algebras [math-000G]

For a fixed endofunctor FF in a proper category CC (below notations omit fixed FF),

  1. the F-algebras (x,α)(x, \alpha) form the objects of the category,
  2. morphisms are homomorphisms of objects (x,α)F  m(y,β)(x, \alpha) \xrightarrow{F\;m} (y, \beta), composition is given by functor laws.

A homomorphism is a CC-morphism mm makes below diagram commutes.

We can extra check identity indeed works.
