Subobjects in the category of R-modules #
We construct an explicit order isomorphism between the categorical subobjects of an R-module M
and its submodules. This immediately implies that the category of R-modules is well-powered.

submodules.

An extensionality lemma showing that two elements of a cokernel by an image are equal if they differ by an element of the image.
The application is for homology: two elements in homology are equal if they differ by a boundary.
