The category of functors from C to D, denoted DC, is a category where the objects are the functors from C to D, and the morphisms are the natural transformations between these functors.

A diagram is said to commute if any two directed paths between the same pair of objects yield equal composite morphisms. In the context of natural transformations, this means that the composition of morphisms along one route in the square (e.g., F(h) followed by ηy) is exactly equal to the composition along the alternative route (e.g., ηx followed by G(h)).
Conditions: Applies to diagrams formed by morphisms in a category.; The paths must start at the same object and end at the same object.

A natural transformation η between two functors F and G (both mapping from category C to category D) is a rule that assigns to every object x in C a morphism ηx in D, specifically from F(x) to G(x). This morphism ηx is called the component of the natural transformation at object x.
Conditions: F and G are functors from category C to category D.; For each object x in C, ηx is a morphism in D from F(x) to G(x).; For every morphism h:x→y in C, the commutative square condition ηy∘F(h)=G(h)∘ηx must hold.
