Discussion
The category of F-algebras and F-algebra homomorphisms. The postulate says that it can't matter if you perform the operation ($\alpha$ resp. $\beta$) before or after the transformation $f$.
Note that $\alpha,\beta,f$ are arrows in ${\bf C}$, while $\langle f\rangle$ denotes the arrow between $F$-algebras $\langle A,\alpha\rangle$ and $\langle B,\beta\rangle$ corresponding to the homomorphism $f$. Clearly, $\langle f\rangle$ and $f$ are in bijection and one often just writes $f$ for both.
