Theorem oppctermco

Description: The opposite category of a terminal category has the same base, hom-sets and composition operation as the original category. Note that C = O cannot be proved because C might not even be a function. For example, let C be ( { <. ( Basendx ) , { (/) } >. , <. ( Homndx ) , ( (V X. V ) X. { { (/) } } ) >. } u. { <. ( compndx ) , { (/) } >. , <. ( compndx ) , 2o >. } ) ; it should be a terminal category, but the opposite category is not itself. See the definitions df-oppc and df-sets .
