Is there any example showing that the composition of morphisms is not necessarily associative?

    In fact, it is an *axiom* of category that composition of morphisms is associative.2012-11-14

    If you would like to know examples of "non-associative categories", specializing to one object these are sets with a non-associative binary operation and a unit element, which include non-associative algebras. There is a list on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-associative_algebra2012-11-15

    If you meant morphisms in the sense of category theory, then ([tag:category-theory]) tag would be good for this question.2013-07-23
