Definition

A category consists of a collection of objects together with morphisms between these objects. Thus, naively, we may think of objects as the ‘elements’ of a category.

More generally, in higher category theory the objects of an (n,r)(n,r)-category are the 00-dimensional cells of that structure, the 00-morphisms.
