John,

But beware of the arrows of the Hungarians: Remember

A sagitis Hungarorum libera nos domine. my ancestors invaded Western Europe for some years and surprised them with their style of fight. Mounted on horses they pretended to flee and when they were followed they simply turned back on the saddle and killed the pursuitors by their arrows in no time.

What a brutal era! And waset of so many arrowheads in flesh

Frank,

I use the word 'map' in the mathematical sense:  a structure-preserving
transformation from one mathematical representation to another.  In
that sense, it is a generalization of the way a road map represents
some pattern of highways, intersections, and distances on earth.

I was using common mathematical terminology.  In mathematics, nothing
is relevant to the formal reasoning except the definitions and axioms.

In category theory, the word 'map' is widely used, but many
mathematicians have adopted the more abstract term 'arrow' --
because they typically use an arrow as the notation for relating
an element of one system to an element of another.

If you prefer, you can do a global change of 'map' to 'arrow' in
my previous note.  (But please don't get distracted by cowboys
and Indians.)

John
