Locally discrete bicategories #

A category C can be promoted to a strict bicategory LocallyDiscrete C. The objects and the 1-morphisms in LocallyDiscrete C are the same as the objects and the morphisms, respectively, in C, and the 2-morphisms in LocallyDiscrete C are the equalities between 1-morphisms. In other words, the category consisting of the 1-morphisms between each pair of objects X and Y in LocallyDiscrete C is defined as the discrete category associated with the type X ⟶ Y.

A type synonym for promoting any type to a category, with the only morphisms being equalities.

    Extract the equation from a 2-morphism in a locally discrete 2-category.

    The locally discrete bicategory on a category is a bicategory in which the objects and the 1-morphisms are the same as those in the underlying category, and the 2-morphisms are the equalities between 1-morphisms.

    If B is a strict bicategory and I is a (1-)category, any functor (of 1-categories) I ⥤ B can be promoted to an oplax functor from LocallyDiscrete I to B.
