Control.Category.Associative

Description

NB: this contradicts another common meaning for an Associative Category, which is one where the pentagonal condition does not hold, but for which there is an identity.

Documentation

A category with an associative bifunctor satisfying Mac Lane's pentagonal coherence identity law:

 bimap id associate . associate . bimap associate id = associate . associate
 bimap disassociate id . disassociate . bimap id disassociate = disassociate . disassociate
