+Consider pairs $(A, \odot)$ where $A$ is a set and $\odot \subseteq A \times A$ is a binary relation on $A$.

+Show that these pairs are objects of a category finding a sensible notion of morphism.

+For two such objects $(A, \odot), (B, \oplus)$ a morphism shall be a function $f : A \to B$ that respects the binary relation:

+ 1. For every $(A, \odot) \in \ca{RelH}$ there exists $\idarr{(A, \odot)}$
