Question

Transcribed Image Text:**Exercise 3: Category Composition**
Consider a category \(\mathcal{N}\) having only one object, denoted as \(*\), and with an arrow \(n: * \rightarrow *\) for every natural number. Moreover, suppose that the composition of two arrows \(m\) and \(n\) is defined by addition, i.e., \(m \circ n = m + n\).
**Problem:**
Determine the natural number \(n\) that corresponds to the identity arrow \(id_*: * \rightarrow *\). Verify that the three axioms of composition are satisfied.
