In mathematics, a morphism is an abstraction of a structure-preserving mapping between two mathematical structures.

The most common example occurs when the process is a function or map which preserves the structure in some sense. In set theory, for example, morphisms are just functions; in group theory they are group homomorphisms; while in topology they are continuous functions. In the context of universal algebra morphisms are generically known as homomorphisms.

The abstract study of morphisms and the structures (or objects) between which they are defined forms part of category theory. In category theory, morphisms need not be functions at all and are usually thought as arrows between two different objects (which need not be sets). Rather than mapping elements of one set to another they simply represent some sort of relationship between the domain and codomain.

@cha0tic @lauriepink is often afflicted by morphic resonance - and generally at the most inconvenient times, too. I blame Rupert Sheldrake..

@lauriepink The extra 'e' must be a race memory or morphic resonance.
