From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In category theory, a category with a terminal object 1 is well-pointed if for every pair of arrows f,g:AB such that fg, there is an arrow p:1A such that fpgp. (The arrows p are called the global elements or points of the category; a well-pointed category is thus one that has "enough points" to distinguish non-equal arrows.)
