A natural transformation $\eta$ 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 $\eta_x$ in $D$, specifically from $F(x)$ to $G(x)$. This morphism $\eta_x$ 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 $C$, $\eta_x$ is a morphism in $D$ from $F(x)$ to $G(x)$.; For every morphism $h: x \to y$ in $C$, the commutative square condition $\eta_y \circ F(h) = G(h) \circ \eta_x$ must hold.

The cotangent space at $p$ is the dual space of the tangent space at $p$. It is written as $\operatorname{Hom}(T_p\mathbb{R}^n, \mathbb{R})$ because it consists of all linear maps from the tangent space $T_p\mathbb{R}^n$ to the field $\mathbb{R}$.

Conditions: $p$ is a basepoint.

For a smooth manifold $M$ over a field $F$, the cotangent space at $p$ is defined as $\operatorname{Hom}(T_pM, F)$. The earlier $\mathbb{R}^n$ example is recovered by taking $M = \mathbb{R}^n$ and $F = \mathbb{R}$.

Conditions: $M$ is a smooth manifold.; $F$ is the field over which the manifold is considered.
