Theorem
Let $\mathbf{Loc_*}$ denote the category of locales with localic mappings.
Then:
- $\mathbf{Loc_*}$ is a metacategory
Proof
Let us verify the axioms $(\text C 1)$ up to $(\text C 3)$ for a metacategory.
For any two localic mappings their composition (in the usual set theoretic sense) is again a localic mapping by User:Leigh.Samphier/Topology/Composite Localic Mapping is Localic Mapping.
For any locale $L = \struct{S, \preceq}$, we have the identity mapping $\operatorname{id}_S$.
From User:Leigh.Samphier/Topology/Identity Mapping is Localic Mapping we have $\operatorname{id}_S$ is a localic mapping.
By Identity Mapping is Left Identity and Identity Mapping is Right Identity, this is the identity morphism for $L$.
Finally by Composition of Mappings is Associative, the associative property is satisfied.
Hence $\mathbf{Loc_*}$ is a metacategory.
$\blacksquare$
