Zero objects

A category "has a zero object" if it has an object which is both initial and terminal. Having a zero object provides zero morphisms, as the unique morphisms factoring through the zero object; see CategoryTheory.Limits.Shapes.ZeroMorphisms.

• unique_to : ∀ (Y : C), Nonempty (Unique (X ⟶ Y))

  there are unique morphisms from the object

An object X in a category is a zero object if for every object Y there is a unique morphism to : X → Y and a unique morphism from : Y → X.

This is a characteristic predicate for has_zero_object.
