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:

“Each generation’s job is to question what parents accept on faith, to explore possibilities, and adapt the last generation’s system of values for a new age.”
