     Quoting from the lecture notes for 18.705, Commutative Algebra:

     A map of functors is known as a natural transformation. Namely,
     given two functors [F : C -> D], [G : C -> D], a natural
     transformation [T: F -> G] is a collection of maps [T A : F A ->
     G A], one for each object [A] of [C], such that [(T B) ∘ (F m) =
     (G m) ∘ (T A)] for every map [m : A -> B] of [C]; that is, the
     following diagram is commutative:

<<
           F m
     F A -------> F B
      |            |
      |            |
      | T A        | T B
      |            |
      V    G m     V
     G A --------> G B
