//! Quivers and the **free category** on a quiver.
//!
//! A quiver (directed multigraph) freely generates a category whose objects are
//! its vertices and whose morphisms are *paths* of edges, with composition =
//! path concatenation and identities = empty paths (Mac Lane 1971 CWM II.7).
//! This is the construction that makes "the runtime is determined by the
//! ontology" precise: by the free–forgetful universal property, an assignment of
//! each generating edge to a morphism of a target category extends to a **unique**
//! functor out of the free category ([`FreeExtension`]). Nothing about the
//! extension is a free choice — it is forced by the generators.
//!
//! # Finitely-generated representation
//!
//! Under a cycle (e.g. `a → b → a`) the set of paths is infinite, which praxis's
//! closed-world [`Category::morphisms`] (a finite enumeration) cannot list. So,
//! consistent with praxis's finitely-generated stance (see
//! [`FinitelyGenerated`]), [`FreeCategory`]
//! represents itself by its finite **generating set** — identities plus the
//! single edges — returned from [`Category::morphisms`]. This is sound for the
//! one thing we verify on a free category: a functor out of it is determined by,
//! and correct iff correct on, its action on generators (the universal property).
//! [`functor_law_axioms`](super::laws::functor_law_axioms) therefore check
//! [`FreeExtension`] correctly on this generating set.
//!
//! Note: [`ClosureLaw`](super::laws::ClosureLaw) does **not** apply to a free
//! category — composing two generators yields a length-2 path, deliberately
//! outside the generating set. Free categories are closed by construction; their
//! law content lives in the functors out of them. Verifying the full
//! (infinite) path category awaits praxis's planned open-world relaxation.
//!
//! Literature:
//! - Mac Lane (1971) *Categories for the Working Mathematician* II.7 — free
//!   categories on a graph; the free–forgetful adjunction Grph ⊣ Cat.
//! - Fong & Spivak (2019) *Seven Sketches in Compositionality* Ch. 3 — finitely
//!   presented categories via generators and relations.
